Does not work when FreeBSD-base is disabled:
# pkg repos -e
main-aarch64-default: {
url : "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/main-aarch64-default",
enabled : yes,
priority : 0
}
# pkg update -r FreeBSD-base

FreeBSD-base is up to date.
vs.:
# pkg repos -e
FreeBSD-base: {
url : "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:16:aarch64/base_latest",
enabled : yes,
priority : 0,
mirror_type : "SRV",
signature_type : "FINGERPRINTS",
fingerprints : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
}
main-aarch64-default: {
url : "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/main-aarch64-default",
enabled : yes,
priority : 0
}
# pkg update -r FreeBSD-base

Looks like that will be needed.
