Yeah.  That would explain what you were seeing.  Yes, you do have to
rebuild the repo catalogue on your repo server when you change the repo
contents.

Running 'pkg update -f' or similar won't cause pkg(8) to be run on the
repo side -- the repo is a read-only source of static content[*] as far
as the client pkg(8) can interact with it.

	Cheers,

[*] Well, except possibly for the repo.conf HTTP mirroring scheme which
is intended to allow load balancing amongst a set of repo servers by --
possibly dynamically -- generating a list of the available servers in
preference order.
