Note: The context does not have anything installed that is
from FreeBSD-ports-kmods . The below is via a chroot
on main 16 to media with a stable/15 installation.
case 0: FreeBSD-ports-kmods enabled (case 1 will be: disabled)
# cat /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
#
# To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file, e.g.:
#
# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# echo "FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
# echo "FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no }" >> /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

enabled : yes,

mirror_type : "SRV",
signature_type : "FINGERPRINTS",
fingerprints : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
}
(Which looks normal to me. As a cross check . . .)

Updating FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository catalogue...
Fetching data.pkg: 100% 29 KiB 29.9kB/s 00:01
Processing entries: 100%
FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository update completed. 200 packages processed.
FreeBSD-ports-kmods is up to date.
FreeBSD-acct-15.snap20251011015136 ?
. . .
ztop-0.3.0_6 ?
That also looks normal to me.
case 1: FreeBSD-ports-kmods disabled
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf is unchanged.
# cat /usr/local//etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#
# To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file, e.g.:
#
# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# echo "FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
# echo "FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no }" >> /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#
#FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes }
#FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no }
# pkg repos
FreeBSD-base: {
url : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_latest",
enabled : no,
priority : 0,
mirror_type : "SRV",
signature_type : "FINGERPRINTS",
fingerprints : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
}
FreeBSD-ports: {
url : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest",
enabled : yes,
priority : 0,
mirror_type : "SRV",
signature_type : "FINGERPRINTS",
fingerprints : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
}
(So FreeBSD-ports-kmods is missing instead of being
listed as "enabled: no". As a cross check . . .)
# pkg version -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods
No repositories are enabled.
Such does not look to be expected to me.
For reference:
