Subject:   For base packages, origin is always "base".
Message-ID:  <23A70655-D675-4BCE-9CBF-72BCB50CFFAB@ketas.si.pri.ee>

index | next in thread | raw e-mail

the subject is what i found from

release/packages/template.ucl

when i tried to figure out why

pkg info -qoa

gave me series of "bases" on my current-with-pkgbase test

i had to do

pkg query %n

or

pkg query %C/%n

in order to get "real package names". latter blows up if more than one category is added, of course

is there any reason the origin can't be like with "normal" (ports) packages? any technical things i don't see here? dependencies from ports can't be resolved anymore? i mean yes category and name is correct. but i mean why? :)

i even wanted to change it but there must be a reason for this and i thought i ask first. maybe get some insight to this too

this is my first try with pkgbase!
