Ahoy!

Could someone explain how pkg_info actually uses PKG_PATH? I like to have 
this variable set to some netbsd ftp server, so that I can simply pkg_add 
<package> without always looking for a source location. But this way, 
pkg_info without arguments (which I use to list all the installed packages) 
tries to fetch something from the net, instead of dumping info from the 
local package database. So, what does it actually do with PKG_PATH set to 
something?

thx
