Hi,
I'm running 8.0-STABLE and I noticed that by default pkg_add -r uses
packages-8.0-release/Latest/ as PACKAGESITE. I read in the handbook[1]
that pkg_add should use packages-5-stable/Latest/ as PACKAGESITE when
one is running -STABLE.
I took a look at the source code, and noticed that pkg_add considers
the system -STABLE if getosreldate() (i.e. __FreeBSD_version) is between
800500 and 899000 (see src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c:92).
However, in RELENG_8, __FreeBSD_version is set to 800108. You can check
it via cvsweb[2].
Sounds like something is wrong. Am I missing something?
Do I just have to wait for the __FreeBSD_version to be bumped?
Hi.
I'm afraid that's because __FreeBSD_version wasn't bumped
800107->800500 in RELENG_8 just after RELENG_8_0 created
(wrt changes in scheme for RELENG_8 timeframe where
current/stable border moved to 800500:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2009-June/007830.html
It continued then as is (still ok), and eventually was incremented
to 800108 (wrong here, though I hope it still can be safely corrected).
I have just bumped the version on stable/8 so it should be fine now.
