>Description:
pkg-repo(8) states:
Symbolic links are ignored, and only the most recent package for
each origin is included in the catalogue.
Every time I have created a repository, I have discovered that only the
oldest version of each package is included in the catalogue.
>How-To-Repeat:
- Start with empty packages directory
- build ports and create packages
- update ports tree
- build ports and create packages for updated ports
- Create repository catalogue with pkg-repo(8)
- Query catalogue for one of the updated ports and note old version
>Fix:
Workaround is to remove older versions of packages from the packages
directory, so that only the latest version of each package is present
prior to creating the repository.
