Hello everyone,
I am new here and have some questions regarding the FreeBSD package
manager, pkg, and the quarterly repository.
I am building a FreeBSD v12 amd64 stable system.
I would like to use pre-compiled packages from repository
https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/
From this, https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/QuarterlyBranch, document it
seems that:
- https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2020Q1/ was created in early
Jan 2020 and
- https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/ was created from
this branch sometime afterwards.
Am I understanding this correctly?
So I envisage, building the system, installing it and leaving it running
so it can do its job.
If, in a few months(~May 2020), I need to install a new package, will I
get a package from repository
https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/ built from:
- https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2020Q1/
OR
- https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2020Q2/
?
I assume https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly will have
been rebuilt from https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2020Q2/.
If so, when installing the new package:
- Will I get any warning prompt about it?
- Can I cancel the install without any changes being made?
Thanks
Michael.
