pkg rquery - --repository option

[Meyer, Wolfgang]

Hello,

I have a question concerning the --repository switch of the pkg rquery command.

The man page states:
-r      reponame, --repository reponame
                 Query for data about packages from only the named repository,
                 irrespective of the configured ``active'' status from
                 repo.conf.  By default all repository catalogues marked
                 ``active'' are queried.

I assumed that the "active" status was controlled by the "enabled" switch in the config file for my (custom) repository. But that seems not to be the case. So my question is, is there a possibility to act on a custom repository that is not "enabled" (in order to not interfere with the standard FreeBSD repository that is used to install software on the system)? The man page suggests the --repository to be this possibilty but it does not seem to work (although I thought it had worked that way at some time, but memories can be erroneous).

Regards,
Wolfgang
