      I am trying to install  pkg_add -r python27 py27-sqlite3 py27-pip per the instructions for installing QLProxy.
      There is not a branch for FreeBSD 8.3 to fetch and install packages.
      These are the only directories left:

      Name Size Date Modified
      [parent directory]
      packages-8-stable/ 2/11/14 10:02:00 PM
      packages-8.4-release/ 5/9/13 12:00:00 AM
      packages-9-stable/ 2/11/14 10:32:00 PM
      packages-9.2-release/ 9/3/13 12:00:00 AM

      So because of this I get this error: Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.3-release/Latest/python27.tbz: File unavailable

      So is there a way to update the package location to packages-8-stable or how do I install python27 and the other packages to get QLProxy to work.

      Thanks,

      Jim

        Did you see this thread:

        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=78935.msg431084#msg431084

        "FreeBSD has moved them to ftp-archive since the release is no longer officially supported upstream."

        "Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it."

          I hadn't seen it. I guess I am only as good as the search terms I use. :(
          Thanks for the link.
