Re: installing packages into a mounted system

Hello,

To close this thread: after reading and understandig how it should work,
I have found the following easy solution:

# chroot /mnt pkg-static repo /PKGDIR
Creating repository in /PKGDIR: 83%
...
Packing files for repository: 100%

# chroot /mnt mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# vim /mnt/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/myrepo.conf
# cat /mnt/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/myrepo.conf

           FreeBSD: {
               url: "file:/PKGDIR",
               enabled: true,
           }

# chroot /mnt pkg-static -R /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/  install autoconf-2.69
Updating repository catalogue
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date
All repositories are up-to-date
The following 5 packages will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
        autoconf: 2.69
        indexinfo: 0.2
        perl5: 5.16.3_11
        m4: 1.4.17_1,1
        autoconf-wrapper: 20131203

The process will require 45 MB more space
13 MB to be downloaded

Works fine. Thanks to the people who designed this new pkg tool.
