Sync'ing /var/cache/pkg like that isn't something that has been
considered as 'normal' usage of pkg(8), so there's no guarantee that it
will work.
However, what you can do is create a local package repo from
/var/cache/pkg by:
pkg repo /var/cache/pkg
This can be served to your other machine by HTTP or even copied over to
the other machine by rsync. eg.
rsync -avx /var/cache/pkg/ othermachine:/var/myrepo/
and then on othermachine add in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/myrepo.conf:
myrepo: {
url: file:///var/myrepo
priority: 10
}
othermachine will still be able to use the default FreeBSD pkg
repositories, but it will prefer 'myrepo' as far as possible.
Cheers,
Matthew
