New package repositories available for kernel modules.
Since 14.2-RELEASE we have been publishing a repository of packages built for
all supported arches.
With the upcoming 14.3-RELEASE we have extended the infrastructure so it now
covers the following branches:
- releng/14.2 (14.2-RELEASE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
- releng/14.3 (14.3-RELEASE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
- stable/14 (14.3-STABLE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
- main (15.0-CURRENT) (only latest ports)
To use them, here is the necessary configuration:
(it can be added to /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/kmods.conf)
----
FreeBSD-kmods: {
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/KMODSFLAVOR";,
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}
----
KMODSFLAVOR repect the following pattern:
kmods_PORTBRANCH_MINORRELEASE
List of what is being published:
+----------------------+----------------+-------------------+
| FreeBSD Release | ports main | ports quarterly |
+----------------------+----------------+-------------------+
| FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE | kmods_latest_2 | kmods_quarterly_2 |
| FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE | kmods_latest_3 | kmods_quarterly_3 |
| FreeBSD 14.3-STABLE | kmods_latest | kmods_quarterly |
| FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT | kmods_latest | |
+----------------------+----------------+-------------------+
Note for current and stable the repositories are built against
the version available in the weekly pkgbase snapshots.
Best regards,
Bapt
This is a long-awaited feature and really great news for the entire
FreeBSD community.
Many thanks for introducing new package repositories for kernel modules
in FreeBSD. This is a really great improvement and will make it much
easier for users to maintain and deploy new releases, in a seamless and
user-friendly way.
FreeBSD steadily keeps moving forward...
Cheers
