If you have packages installed, but without shlib info in the database,
then you can:
pkg upgrade
or whatever, to get pkg-1.0.12 installed
pkg check -Ba
-- scans everything you have installed and adds the SHLIB info to your
local database
pkg create -a -o /usr/ports/packages/
-- create pkg tarballs (including shlib info) out of everything known in
your local database.
pkg repo -f /usr/ports/packages
-- build a repo out of those package tarballs.
However, this only works for what you have installed on that one
machine, which is generally a sub-set of what you'ld like to have in a
pkg repo. To build a more comprehensive set of packages as you'ld
normally find in a repo, it's cleanest to just tell poudriere or
tinderbox to build everything again from scratch. Timeconsuming, but
you end up with a consistent repository fully populated with all the
SHLIBS info you could want.
Cheers,
Matthew
