https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D271534 Bug ID: 271534 Summary: "4.4.11. Restoring the Package Database" from the FreeBSD handbook is outdated Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Website Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vieroninfo@gmail.com Hi guys, apparently "4.4.11. Restoring the Package Database" from the FreeBSD handbo= ok is outdated. As pointed out to me, the "pkg backup" command was removed with the following commit in "https://github.com/freebsd/pkg" which also contains the reason for its removal. So I guess that section should be removed or updated. ----------------------------- commit eea1a990eb1187a408811534a5060e58074a9044 Author: Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> Date: Tue Oct 4 17:02:13 2022 +0200 backup: remove the backup command which was confusing backup and backup -r was basically replicating the db, while we now prefer a real sql dump. with the backup command backuping a corrupted db will succesfully backup it and pkg backup -r will sucessfully restore a corrupted db. Making its usage quite useless. ----------------------------- Thank you for your attention. Kind regards --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
