freebsd stable - Dec 2007 - 6.3-RC1: different port/package versions

Hi!

I'm trying out 6.3-RC1, but had some problems with getting different
(and incompatible) versions of packages and ports.

When installing packages with sysinstall via FTP, i get older versions
compared to using pkg_add -r.  The latter (correctly) takes the
packages from the packages-6.3-release directory, but sysinstall seems
to take the (older) in packages-6-stable.  In the sysinstall options,
setting "Release Name" to 6.3-RELEASE only results in that it says
that the directory does not exist on the FTP server.

Is this expected behaviour?

Yes, sysinstall hadn't yet been changed to point to the release 
directory, which was only recently created.
