            Bug ID: 274989
           Summary: pkg --repository option only works if repo is enabled
                    - contrary to man page description
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: drq883@gmail.com

I have two repo config files in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos:

% cat release_0.conf
release_0: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/release_0",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

% cat latest.conf
latest: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: no
}


I only want to use the latest repo for upgrading things to the latest.
Otherwise I want things to use a "frozen repo" that doesn't change.

man pkg-update shows this:

     -r reponame, --repository reponame
            Download the catalogue for the named repository only.  This will
            update only the named repository, irrespective of the configured
            =E2=80=9Cactive=E2=80=9D status from repo.conf.

Man pkg-upgrade shows this:

     -r reponame, --repository reponame
                 Install packages from only the named repository, irrespect=
ive
                 of the configured =E2=80=9Cactive=E2=80=9D status from rep=
o.conf.


This is not true. The repos have to be enabled in order for it to work.

The only way around this is to enable the repo, do the update/upgrade, then
disable the repo.

I've tested this on 13.2, and on 14-STABLE. Both exhibit the same behavior.
