Can you do an "rquery" on a local repository? (say, one that has been mounted

that going?


(1)  Install the port:  ports-mgmgt/poudriere , and follow the instructions at: 
https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/&k=%2FbkpAUdJWZuiTILCq%2FFnQg%3D%3D%0A&r=Mrjs6vR4%2Faj2Ns9%2FssHJjg%3D%3D%0A&m=ITD4dgEgVeGBJaxdFd9siyBYqr8XS3YLpKM1XB2BIlo%3D%0A&s=3f2fd1a60ccad617509daca0f40579fc7aa17cfc3a6ee176d38a4f2de3c913a0>
(2)  Build your own repository of packages

I assume that poudiere builds packages from ports.

That's not how we build package repositories here (and would expect that there 
are many more like us).

We expect to start with an empty directory, go grab packages that we want (one 
by one) from FTP. Then put those tarballs into a directory. There's no 
additional step because we download the INDEX file to the repository too. Local 
repository is built.

Is it reasonable to assume that this is still possible? We don't want to have 
to set up poudriere or build our own packages for packages that were already 
built at the time of release. (we don't track anything except security releng 
branches).



(3)  Make that repository available in a local file system or NFS


That's what we want.


I believe that "pkg" and "poudriere" address pretty much all the questions you 
have been asking,
so you just need to set up the environment so that you can do experiments to 
integrate it with bsdconfig.


But I want bsdconfig to work with local repositories without having poudriere.



PC-BSD and DragonFlyBSD have switched to using "pkg", so it is quite well 
tested.


Cool.


Baptiste and the rest of the pkgng and poudriere team have put a lot of effort 
and thought into this,
and I believe you will be pleased with the results once you migrate over to 
these tools.


I think so too. But right now a *lot* of unanswered questions.
