https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289414 --- Comment #2 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> --- Please note: - <https://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/pkg-devel/#history>; for pkg-devel, currently 2.2.99.2 - more recent <https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/commits/main/>; - <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-pkg/2025-September/001468.html>; mentioned an experimental run of pkg 2.3.0. > … little Atom board with 4GB RAM and 32GB eMMC flash … > (4GB RAM + 2GB swap) … I'm not familiar with the hardware. Pull request <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/542>; should, I believe, be followed by another documentation PR for: vm.pageout_oom_seq <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-pkg/2025-September/001466.html>; etc., Mark Millard's technical comments in particular. > … lost the list of packages I previously installed, … reconstructed > from /var/log/messages. … There's also the database backup, which might be recent. See 542 above. > … pkg-static to reinstall all base packages. … pkgbasify can be more graceful: - more discrete (a requirement for all 525 packages would be extraordinary) - in my experience, better handling of merges in situations such as yours. Using pkgbasify to repair a broken installation of FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE: - <https://gist.github.com/grahamperrin/9570092c127bd43777961b6f016e75ba>; <https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop/issues/83#issuecomment-3265333839>; refers to <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-pkgbase/2025-August/000625.html>, > freebsd-update and pkgbase ---- Last but not least: if this bug 289414 can be a ports-mgmt/pkg issue (not base system), then maybe the port can be enhanced; for some pkg(8) commands to respond more cautiously where the value of vm.pageout_oom_seq is less than, say, 120. <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-ports>; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
