I would also like to request this same documentation added to the FAQ at https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/blob/master/FAQ.md#0, and that the error message "pkg: PACKAGESITE is not defined" be changed to e.g. "pkg: PACKAGESITE is not defined - pkg.conf not found" or something similar indicating how to solve the problem. 2) The pkg.conf.sample file does not contain a list of valid repos: repos: default : http://example.org/pkgng/ repo1 : http://somewhere.org/pkgng/repo1/ repo2 : http://somewhere.org/pkgng/repo2/ =2E.. and apparently this makes running "pkg update" impossible as it exits with the completely useless error message "Broken pipe". At least this error message should be changed. I would like to request that pkg.conf.sample contain valid repos by default. While at it, where on the web is the list of valid repos and why is the documentation (README and the .sample conf file) not referencing it instead of specifying the abstract "example.org" addresses= ? (I know pkgng is not finished, but this way you are not going to get any enthusiastic testers...) --------------enig2F14E8BB9C1FEBB77580E527 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk+zi8IACgkQ/QjVBj3/HSxrNQCfV7OKi/X2p2w0c0UsclfL7Kqt HEMAn2DxXPT3QMvRFjvh9Rmm+35U4Ee8 =39bB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig2F14E8BB9C1FEBB77580E527--
