>Description:
'pkg install lang/ocaml' doesn't work, although /usr/ports/lang/ocaml exists, and works.
Trying to install *ANY* ocaml package fails, due to a missing 'lang/ocaml' binary package
I didn't modify /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf:
# $FreeBSD: release/10.0.0/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 258710 2013-11-28 14:24:26Z gjb $
FreeBSD: {
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}
Is there something wrong with the mirror, or how did the binary package get lost?
There are ocaml libraries available as binary packages, so at some point 'lang/ocaml' itself must've existed, no?
[I tried to submit this using send-pr, and then via my email client, but it didn't get an automated acknowledgment email (although I did for another PR I sent), so I'm sending this again via the web-interface. Sorry if this results in a duplicate PR]
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD 10 amd64 in a VM using the FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso or FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
Login as root, run /usr/sbin/pkg, tell it to fetch
# pkg install lang/ocaml
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: No packages matching 'lang/ocaml' available in the repositories
>Fix:
Build it from source:
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
cd /usr/ports/lang/ocaml
make install
