https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291806 ivy@FreeBSD.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ivy@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #5 from ivy@FreeBSD.org --- the reason we only ship GENERIC with pkgbase because the installer (bsdinstall, pkg-stage, etc.) only supports a single kernel in the repository. if you want to use a different kernel, you'll need to build your own repository, or install the kernel some other way. i'm currently working on support for multiple kernels, which is intended to let us ship both GENERIC and GENERIC-(NO)DEBUG. i'm not sure if this will include MINIMAL as well... historically, the purpose of MINIMAL hasn't been well defined and it may not be in a state yet where we want to officially support it. (in particular, we're missing some loader/devmatch work to make it useful without a lot of manual configuration, so it's probably not something we want to offer to users as an installable option.) we could perhaps include it in the repository but not the installer. regardless of what we decide there, i'm also not sure if this work will be MFC'd for 15.1. while i'd like to do that, we're also trying to avoid too many pkgbase changes during the release cycle. this is probably something we need to decide once it's landed in main. > Can we get these missing packages restored into the 15.0-RELEASE pkgbase set? if you're talking about the orphaned packages, as Mark said, those are packages that were removed from the system between 14 and 15, so you should just uninstall them. some of them were replaced by other packages, e.g. unbound was replaced by local-unbound. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
