Yeah -- and the bootstrap pkg on pkgbeta is severely out of date and has
some problems with the up to date DB schema.
Use PACKAGESITE=3Dhttp://pkg-test.freebsd.org/pkg-test-${ABI}/latest
That's the kit that will form the official FreeBSD package repository;
it just lacks the crypto bits for signing the packages, which is why
it's calling itself 'pkg-test'
Oh -- there isn't an A record in the DNS for pkg-test.freebsd.org --
look up a SRV record for _http._tcp.pkg-test.freebsd.org instead.
(Yes, this is counter to RFC 2616.
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/550 There are moves afoot to
change to a new set of URL schemes: pkg+http://, pkg+https://,
pkg+ssh:// etc. but these are still under development)
Cheers,
Matthew
