https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204570 Bug ID: 204570 Summary: pkg(8) needs an option to prevent fetching packages via the network Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ian@FreeBSD.org When creating products or distributions that include packages, it can be important to ensure that everything that ends up in the product image came from a version-controlled source. A pkg(8) option to allow installation only from file:// URLs can help ensure that uncontrolled packages don't accidentally end up getting installed due to accidental oversights such as forgetting to commit runtime dependency packages. This was discussed briefly with bapt@ on irc, and he requested that I open a PR so it doesn't get forgotten. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
