Since pkg is being replaced by pkgng in Release 10.0 I would like to get
head start by playing with it on my 9.0 system.
Where can I find a write up about installing and using pkgng?
Have all the pkg packages been converted to pkgng format and are they
being kept up to date?
Hi
It's in /usr/ports/UPDATING
20121015:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portmaster
AUTHOR: bdrew...@freebsd.org
Portmaster now supports pkgng. To use pkgng, enable the patch in the
port,
enable pkgng in your make.conf, and convert your existing /var/db/pkg
database. Also see UPDATING entry 20121010 if you are on a recent CURRENT
and do not want to use pkg.
This is optional and not currently required.
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg install clean
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster config build deinstall
install clean
# echo 'WITH_PKGNG=yes' >> /etc/make.conf and
# pkg2ng
Thanks, but your reply does not answer my question. I did not say anything
about using portmaster.
I want to use pkgng in native mode.
I don't see pkgng in the ports system.
How do I get pkgng loaded to a 9.0 system?
That would be make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg install clean
and WITH_PKGNG=yes in /etc/make.conf
and convert the old pkgdb to ng with pkg2ng
Sorry I awlays use ports so maybe there is a config thing to be done also to
find the right sites to get the packages from
I see the problem. It's called pkgng but in the ports system it's called
pkg. Thought pkg was the old system. Silly me.
