Upon reading 'man 5 pkg.conf', which identified the system-wide=20 configuration file as being located as /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. That file=20 does contain this entry: ##### url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly", ##### That file also states that to modify that file, create a new file as: ##### /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf ##### I have done so, and in that file I have placed this entry: #### FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg", enabled: yes } ##### Should that suffice? Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
