FreeBSD Community,
I'm pleased to announce a CFT for builds of FreeBSD 12-stable and
13-current
using "TrueOS-inspired" packaged base. These are stock FreeBSD images which
will allow users to perform all updating via the 'pkg' command directly.
Rather than trying to answer all questions in this announcement, we've
created a FAQ page with more details. Please refer to this page, and let us
know if you have additional questions that we can include on that page
going
forward.
I currently keep my FreeBSD/arm and FreeBSD/arm64 systems up to date via
PkgBase in FreeBSD 12. It works well for me (crossbuilding and hosting the
PkgBase repository on a FreeBSD/amd64 system).
What is the difference between the above CFT-created PkgBase and one
created via "make packages" using the native build system
(https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase)? Looking at the FAQ you linked
(https://trueos.github.io/pkgbase-docs/), it seems the above CFT system is
less granular than the one currently produced via the in-tree "make
packages" (which could be a good thing from a simplicity standpoint). Is
there anything else?
Is the above CFT-produced packages the system that will ultimately become
the way packaged base is produced in FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE, or is it just an
alternative you want people to try out and evaluate? I guess I'm not clear
what "TrueOS-inspired" packaged base means. :-)
Cheers,
Paul.
