pkg is a great tool! Many thanks to all developers. However, the pace of development is so fast, I can't keep up. And, it seems, the documentation is a bit behind too. I've seen some posts in ports@ about configuring pkg 1.2.1, but I'm still not clear. Is seems pkg.conf(5) man page is out of date. It still says PACKAGESITE should be in this file, which is now obsolete. https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng is more up-to-date. Still: 2. Remove any repository-specific configuration from /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf, such as PACKAGESITE, MIRROR_TYPE, PUBKEY. If this leaves your pkg.conf empty, just remove it. 3. mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos 4. Create the file /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf with: FreeBSD: { url: "http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest", mirror_type: "srv", enabled: yes } So where does PUBKEY goes now? What is the meaning of FreeBSD identifier? Can I give it another name? pkg-repo(8) says SIGNATURE_TYPE should be set to FINGERPRINTS. Should this also appear in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf? And so on... I'm on ia64, so I have to build my own packages. Please provide an up-to-date guide on the transition from version 1.1 to 1.2. Again, thank you for a great too! Many thanks Anton
