Well, you're very close to having this work:
The easiest approach I've found is to setup a simple
static webserver, use "pkg repo" to build the catalogue,
then:
echo "Installing packages"
PACKAGESITE=3Dhttp://my.local.server/packages/arm
export PACKAGESITE
pkg -c $DESTDIR update
pkg -c $DESTDIR install -y pkg
pkg -c $DESTDIR upgrade
pkg -c $DESTDIR install -y emacs-nox11
The only piece missing is that the POST-INSTALL
scripts are failing.
For the packages I'm using, it would be enough to provide
symlink support in the +MANIFEST file directly. For other
packages, something like the "after next boot fixup" that
I outlined earlier would work.
But this is very, very close. This is a big step forward
for non-x86 FreeBSD.
Kudos to the pkgng team!
Tim
