Hi,

I have just committed (r253305) a change the make pkg_install not being bui=

and installed by default on HEAD.

If you are still relying on it, be careful and add WITH_PKGTOOLS=3Dyes in y=
our
src.conf(5)

[snip]

I for one am effected and will have to change things.

If you are referring to bsdconfig's package management,

[snip] Yes. that's what I'm talking about. [snip]


it is not working anyway
HEAD as we do not and will not provides any pkg_install for HEAD via any of=
 the
usual distribution process: http, ftp, CD.



The FTP mirror of packages is going away? (if you said yes and pointed at a=
 prior conversation about leading up to this, I would not be surprised -- I=
'm just questioning it because I don't see the value in pairing-down method=
s of acquisition)

If this is the case, what's the surviving acquisition method? A custom TCP =
protocol perhaps?

There may be those that wish to use pkg in the pkg_add manner and download =
things and then inspect them manually before adding them. For example, I of=
ten go the freshports.org<http://freshports.org>; to find a package that fil=
ls a need... download it from the official FTP server(s), inspect all of th=
em, and choose the one that best fits me need (and only then installing fro=
m the local file; tossing the rest). If I go through the "pkg" tool, I have=
 to inspect things *after* they've been installed which is not to my satisf=
action.


[snip
bsdconfig is not installed by
default,

Wrong, please see...
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=3Drevision&revision=3D252862
[snip]

The first thing that comes to mind in reprogramming bsdconfig's package man=
agement for pkgng...

We have a *very* large list of FTP mirrors. This will presumably be replace=
d with a list of "pkg" mirrors.

Do we have such a list that we want to program into the base configuration =
of bsdconfig?
