https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D234069 --- Comment #6 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> --- pkg -r is a rootdir, aka no chroot, the main purpose of this option is to a= llow cross installation. For instance, create a armv6 image in which you do install packages, but do that from your amd64 laptop. pkg -r is quite used for such purpose today. pkg -r is also used by some people packaging stuff but not using the ports = tree at all (yes pkg is not entirely tight to the ports tree). Again @sample is not a pkg thing it is a port thing (see the Keywords directory). And that @sample is not yet ready for pkg -r. meaning the ports tree is not ready. If you find a way to document that properly, I will be more that happy to improve the documentation. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
