Thanks, that will be a big help.

I'm scripting out a process to bring a host up to a
local standard which includes pkgsrc and src trees.
With ${pick_date} there are some hoops to figure out
the url.

./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200708100002Z/source/sets/src.tgz

I wonder if there is any reason not to symlink
./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/${pick_date} to
./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/netbsd-3 every time a
new ${pick_date} comes out? Then we have a fixed url
for whatever most current snapshot of the tag is
available.

Yeah, that puts the tag in the url twice, maybe the
symlink could be called "snapshot"?
