Modification with pkg annotate -M works for me!
# pkg annotate -M rubygem-web-console repository codelab
rubygem-web-console-2.3.0: Change annotation tagged: repository to new
value: codelab? [y/N]: y
rubygem-web-console-2.3.0: Modified annotation tagged: repository
# pkg annotate -S rubygem-web-console repository
rubygem-web-console-2.3.0: Tag: repository Value: codelab
I switched all repo "redmine320" packages to repository "codelab" with
following command (not so elegant)
# pkg query '%R %n' | awk '$1 == "redmine320" { print $2 }' | xargs
-L1 -J % pkg annotate -y -M % repository codelab
Thank you Bapt and Franco!
