It was very quickly visible at these locations: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client/ https://www.freshports.org/devel/p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client/ ... and it has since become visible here as well: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=p5-CPAN-Testers- Common-Client&stype=all&sektion=all However, when I try to install that package onto my system (a VM running FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE), I continue -- six hours later -- to get messages saying that the package cannot be located. ##### $> sudo pkg update Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. $> sudo pkg install p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. pkg: No packages available to install matching 'p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client' have been found in the repositories ##### What am I not understanding about this process? Thank you very much. Jim The default pkg repository is the "quarterly" one (see /usr/local/etc/pkg) which only gets new ports every 3 months. You can switch to the "latest" repo, which gets rebuilt every Tuesday, I believe. Or build it from the ports tree which gets updated daily. Cheers, Freddie Typos courtesy of my phone.
