https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291052 Bug ID: 291052 Summary: Request to offline-distribute kernel modules and pkg(8) repositories in iso and img images. Product: Base System Version: 15.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yklaxds@gmail.com Now most files are distributed offline, except kernel modules and pkg(8) repositories. This is very inconvenient for our region. Since bsdinstall was not designed with disconnected-network situations in mind (that is, it does not check whether the connection to freebsd.org is valid, nor does it perform speed detection), it will continue even at a speed of only a few KB per second, and it cannot be interrupted, because interrupting bsdinstall at any time and in any place will cause it to fall back to TTY or exit directly, and entering bsdinstall will return to the very beginning. Now even the most conservative Debian has begun distributing non-free firmware inside their iso images. Please ask the FreeBSD project to consider distributing kernel modules and pkg(8) repositories offline in iso and img images. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
