Apologies for another newbie question. Trying to get my head around = package management. If I run "pkg search certbot" using the official AWS FreeBSD = 11.1-RELEASE image it finds: py27-certbot-0.16.0_1,1 Let's Encrypt client but if run the same search using my locally installed FreeBSD, which = happens to be a slightly older, 11.0-STABLE, I find the newer (which = also happens to be the current) version of that package: py27-certbot-0.17.0,1 Let's Encrypt client In both cases pkg.conf and the repo config are the same, with all the = settings at their unchanged by me defaults (url: = "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly=E2=80=9D). Both versions of = pkg itself are the same. As far as I can see, I am resolving to the same = mirror in both cases, as I see the same IP (213.138.116.73) when I ping = pkg.freebsd.org. When I manually navigate to = http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterly/All/ I can see the = older version of the package (py27-certbot-0.16.0_1,1) on the server. = When I navigate to the latest tree = (http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/) I can see the = newer package in there. Why does my locally installed pkg find the newer version if both configs = point to the same, quarterly, repo URL? Many thanks, Rafal -- Rafal Lukawiecki Data Scientist=20 Project Botticelli Ltd
