CWD packages-5.3-release 550 Can't change directory to packages-5.3-release: Permission denied the same for 5.4-release and 4.11-release only packages-5-stable and packages-4-stable work, meaning that only users following a STABLE branch can use pkg_add -r right now, is this a permanent change and if so what happens to people using a release do they all have to search for a mirror with the dir open? Reason is I was in the middle of a writing a guide for an author of a common webhosting panel and giving him commands for easy installation of a package but now it seems the process is suddenly more complicated because pkg_add -r wont work, for now I will do an alternative of fetching the package from 5-stable then a pkg_add with the filename.
