Indeed, and pkg(8) is _not_ base, so what's described is not consistent with /etc/ for base system software configuration files. <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=intro&sektion=5&manpath=freebsd-current#FILES>; A single repo e.g. FreeBSD-ports in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf is used by pkg (7, not 8) for bootstrap. Then: - /etc/pkg.conf does not exist - /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf is explicitly the system-wide configuration file for pkg(8). So, I might expect /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf to be the system-wide FreeBSD repository configuration file for pkg(8). <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg.conf&sektion=5&manpath=freebsd-ports#OPTIONS>; REPOS_DIR does have the default list of two directories to search. When I first saw pkgbasify write a FreeBSD-base configuration to /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ I thought that the path was, somehow, unexpected. After looking at intro(5) and hier(7), /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ seems proper (a change of mind). <https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51594>; for pkgbasify in base – without pkg(8) in base – will probably change my mind, again.home | help
