No answer on ports@, maybe someone here knows. Suppose I start to install some packages using "pkg_add -K -r" and something goes wrong partway through. When trying again, AFAICT there is no way to tell pkg_add to first look for any package that it needs (e.g. dependencies) in the local repository created by the previous run's -K switch, but fall back to the remote repository for any not found locally.
It's not immediately obvious how to accomplish such a retry with portmaster either, since -PP --local-packagedir= would want the local repository to be formatted in the same way as the remote ones -- and it doesn't look as if "pkg_add -K -r" does that. Is there a simple way to create the <path>/Latest and category symlinks that portmaster needs, given only a collection of packages in the <path>/All directory? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
