Hi.
> Users should not be advised to overwrite /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
The stock 'Base System' config is at /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf ... that one should not be modified (officially).
The /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf is 'for' modifications.
Just modify bsdinstall(8) or 'default' /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf config to be like that:
| FreeBSD-base: {
| url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_${VERSION_MINOR}",
| mirror_type: "srv",
| signature_type: "fingerprints",
| fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-${VERSION_MAJOR}",
| enabled: yes
| }
Because current situation is very strange where You have this by default after installation:
| FreeBSD-base: {
| url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_${VERSION_MINOR}",
| mirror_type: "srv",
| signature_type: "fingerprints",
| fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-${VERSION_MAJOR}",
| enabled: no
| }
... and this in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file:
| FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes }
What is the point of this split?
