Earlier today (about 0910 EST), thanks to Po-Chuan Hsieh, a new port
I had created was committed to the repository. It was very quickly
visible at these locations:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client/
<https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client/>
https://www.freshports.org/devel/p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client/
<https://www.freshports.org/devel/p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client/>
... and it has since become visible here as well:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client&stype=all&sektion=all
<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client&stype=all&sektion=all>
However, when I try to install that package onto my system (a VM
running FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE), I continue -- six hours later -- to
get messages saying that the package cannot be located.

What am I not understanding about this process?
Thank you very much.

The default pkg repository is the "quarterly" one (see
/usr/local/etc/pkg) which only gets new ports every 3 months.
You can switch to the "latest" repo, which gets rebuilt every Tuesday, I
believe.
Thanks. Upon reading 'man 5 pkg.conf', which identified the system-wide
configuration file as being located as /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. That file
does contain this entry:
#####
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly";,
#####
That file also states that to modify that file, create a new file as:
#####
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#####
I have done so, and in that file I have placed this entry:
####
FreeBSD: {
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest";,
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}
#####
Should that suffice?
Thank you very much.
