Aaargh I'm going crazy trying to set up portupgrade to use packages.

I have a system where uname -r says "4.5-PRERELEASE".

So "portupgrade -PP" is insisting on looking in 

	ftp://ftp2.au.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-prerelease/All/<pkg-name>

Which of course doesn't exist.  I need it to use "/packages-4.5-release/All"
for this ftp mirror, but i cannot work out the correct magic.

I've tried
	export PKG_PATH="/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/"
but that is just ignored.

I tried
	export PKG_PATH="$PACKAGEROOT/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/"

but that complains that "ftp is not a valid path" then "/ftp2.au.FreeBSD.org/
pub/Fre... is not a valid path".  (i.e. is splitting on : not space as
specified in the pkg_fetch man page).  

I've tried all sorts of hacks and tweaks, but short of hacking the OS strung 
that uname returns, I'm stumped.  I'm no ruby expert either.

hints?

Aside: fetch gives a bogus error message:
	fetch -o /exisiting/dir url:/non-existant/file
will give a bogus error message:
	fetch: /existing/dir/file: Not Found
I'm about to send-pr this
