<https://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/15.0ISSUES#assigned>; > Add "FreeBSD-base" (or maybe "FreeBSD-src") repository to > /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf (cperciva) > hier(7) descriptions of /etc/ and /usr/local/ are thought-provoking. Respectively: "base system configuration files and scripts; see intro(5)" "local executables, libraries, etc, installed by pkg(7) or ports(7)" Colin's base 29f076ae0cb5 was my precedent for multiple repos in a single file, /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf As the local stuff of pkg(8) is installed (bootstrapped) by pkg(7), is the _local_ configuration file a more logical place to specify the FreeBSD-base and FreeBSD-kmods repos? /usr/local/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf ---- /etc/pkg/ is documented in hier(7), however it's quirky. pkg(8) is not part of base. <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hier&sektion=7&manpath=freebsd-current>; <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=intro&sektion=5&manpath=freebsd-current>; <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/29f076ae0cb536d1e891d3375edf28f1bc82df79help
