Hi crew,
is there any way to have pkg reveal which repository it will select with t=
he present configuration, without it having to actually connect with that r=
epo?
Specifically, bsdconfig(8) needs to know which /var/db/pkg/${something}=2E=
sqlite to check, where $something may be repo-FreeBSD or repo-FreeBSD_insta=
ll_cdrom or some custom repo, likely from the default /etc/pkg/FreeBSD=2Eco=
nf or from (e=2Eg) /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom=2Econf or=
other, or an overriding REPOS_DIR setting=2E
I'd sooner not have to scan each of the $REPOS_DIR directories and then pa=
rse all *=2Econf files, emulating pkg(8)'s described selection algorithm, b=
ut I've found no suitable option in pkg-*(8) so far=2E
Thanks, Ian
