Ok. Respectfully not what I was inquiring about.

Thanks. Good to know. So when you don't define PACKAGESITE, it defaults to =
HTTP.

How about rquery? What protocol does that use? and what does it talk to?

Yes, I know this from previous announcements (not the topic at-hand; respec=
tfully).

Question: Where can I learn more about the actual format of what's in the n=
ew tarballs? This is going to be important not for bsdconfig, but $work (we=
 have our own build platform; I'm going to have to rewrite it from masterin=
g PLIST files to mastering YAML MANIFEST files and I want to know all the g=
ritty details).
