[csw-users] typo in pkg-get package

[Mark McCoy]

I'm referring not to the repository, but the default config file in
the pkg_get.pkg that is linked to on the HOWTO page.  If you install
that package on a fresh machine, uncomment the secondary US mirror
line, and do a 'pkg-get -U' you will see what I mean.

I've always just known to delete that space, but after installing it
on about half a dozen machines in the last few months it is one of
those little annoyances  ;-)
