The handbook says: ===== The pkgng package management system uses a package repository for most operations. The default package repository location is defined in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf or by the PACKAGESITE environment variable, which overrides the configuration file. ===== That's not true. The default package respository location is defined in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf, as the Wiki describes. > Again, I believe the file changed, and it was the presence of the obsolete > version that caused the messages.

And, when you read the above in the Handbook and see the .sample file, you copy to to pkg.conf. > Maybe it would help to be more specific: what needs to be changed in the > Handbook version? Say that the configuration goes in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf, and show the sample configuration. > Without pkg.conf, the current version of pkg does not complain, so that > seems okay. I'm pretty sure it complained (or obviously didn't work) or I wouldn't have known to go searching. I did not save the error message, but I'm quite sure it didn't work as one would hope. --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
