Often I build in an environment that is firewalled from the Internet at large but I have a local repo. (And it's nice to know exactly what version with which options I'm installing.) What is done in the FreeBSD DVD is creatign a conf files manually: local: { url: "http://where" } and env REPOS_DIR=/path/to/the/directory/containing/the/file pkg ... > > 2. Installing a package that includes a repo file for my local custom repo. This is a chicken-and-egg problem for which PACKAGESITE was a nice solution since there's no risk of a stale repo file being left behind--either the package is installed (with the correct/current repo file) or it isn't. same as above or if you already have pkg bootstrapped you can do pkg add http://...../yourpkg.txz which makes me see that 1.3.0.a1 has lost pkg add|install http://... which we need to fix for alpha2 Thanks for the first bug report. :) regards, Bapt
