Äh, #Tier2-alustana #RaspberryPi'n #FreeBSD 15 on vielä niin kesken, ettei siihen saa asennettua edes #pkg-paketinhallintaa (paitsi ehkä #ports'eista, jos viitsisi alitehoisella raspilla lähteä pelleilemään). Taitaa olla paras peruuttaa 14.3:een. #floss #bsd #raspi #atkjuttuja

@mj CURRENT is 16.0, not 15.0.

There should be no need for a SRV line in

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

See /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf

Also: if you chose pkgbase (packages) in FreeBSD Installer, do not remove /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

@kde season's greetings from Plasma on FreeBSD-CURRENT with pkgbase 🎄

#KDE #Plasma #FreeBSD #pkg #pkgbase

I can, for example, delete and then only register the FreeBSD-vi package, with confidence that a related file will not exist.

We can think of this as telling white lies to the database.

root@clean:~ # which vi
/usr/bin/vi
root@clean:~ # pkg delete -fqy FreeBSD-vi FreeBSD-vi-dbg
Generating apropos(1) database for /usr/share/man...
Generating apropos(1) database for /usr/share/openssl/man...
root@clean:~ # pkg install -qUy --register-only FreeBSD-vi FreeBSD-vi-dbg
root@clean:~ # vi
vi: Command not found.

FreeBSD-vi-dbg-15.0
root@clean:~ # pkg -v
2.5.0

#FreeBSD #pkg

What I want, now, is a pkg command to list unregistered packages.

Oops, too late 🙃

pkgbase: all packages deleted without deleting FreeBSD.

pkg-unregister(8) is our friend.

pkg version 2.5.0 is something special.

A software reason to be jolly for a festive season.

Fa la la la la, la la, la, la.

@mason you probably saw "experimental" in something earlier than the final release candidate.

Most users of FreeBSD Installer for 15.0-RELEASE will find the button for packages (not distribution sets) preselected ― the default.

<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1pk1wsg/comment/ntuxsow/>

From <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1pa8ait/comment/nrin5g9/>:

＂pkgbase – it's huge, and cooking for more than a decade is mouthwatering, however the time for the Foundation and the Project to really blow their trumpets will be when the cookbook, tools, and conventions come together en route to 15.1. ＂

I like that the Foundation is blowing a trumpet already 👍

It's probably fair to describe the tools and conventions as a tech preview ― this includes the base meta packages for so-called sets ― but in my experience, the (non-meta) base packages are truly production-ready.

The pkgbase(7) manual page <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkgbase&sektion=7&manpath=freebsd-release> can be corrected and improved, as can the FreeBSD Handbook and other parts of an inevitably sprawling cookbook.

Tasty.

I want structured output from `pkg repositories` (e.g. JSON, XML, something).

The goal: parse the data via my code.

Here's what we're dealing with:

[22:44 r730-01 dvl ~] % pkg repositories local
local: {
url : "http://fedex.int.unixathome.org/packages/FreeBSD:14:amd64/",
enabled : yes,
priority : 0,
signature_type : "PUBKEY",
pubkey : "/etc/ssl/slocum.unixathome.org.cert"
}

Before I go coding which might break with each update, is there an existing method?

Thanks.
