Up to stable/13 of about March this year - and for the last two decades
or so - using packages in nanobsd(8) was pretty straight forward: you
needed a directory with packages to install using the included
'cust_pkgng' helper function, and one of the packages had to be the
'pkg-x.y.z' package to bootstrap the package system during the nanobsd
creation stage.
Not anymore with stable/13.2 of about July 24 or later. I did not try to
bisect to find out when and what changed. This is rather outside of my
comfort zone so there may be a better way / better explanation, but
these are my findings so far:
- to bootstrap pkg(8) without resorting to the internet (which fails for
me in=C2=A0 a chroot environment) the associated package *must* be named
'pkg.txz'. Nothing else will do.
- there cannot be a path in front of the package name, i.e.
'/_.p/pkg.txz' as used by nanobsd(8) does not work anymore.
- alas, nanobsd(8) cannot install packages in the old way as the
bootstrapping fails.
To get around this the following patch seems to work for me:
