https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291501 Bug ID: 291501 Summary: Users should not be advised to overwrite /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: grahamperrin@gmail.com <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/70edd3c126a591dec129958d3e103521de84746d/usr.sbin/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.quarterly#L6>, for example: # echo "FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf This will overwrite an existing file. An existing file is used to enable the FreeBSD-base repository (and pkgbase is the default with more than just -disc1 and -dvd1 FreeBSD Installer for 15.0-RELEASE). Overwriting the file will cause the operator to not gain updates to base. ---- Encouragement to overwrite is widespread, not limited to the src tree. Attention to the src tree (this bug report) might be a priority: - before the next security advisory (SA) or - parallel to the next errata notice (EN). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
