pkg(8) Repos

Hi.

I just checked one interesting thing - here are the facts - on the 15.0-BETA1 (I doubt its different on BETA2).

The 'third party' packages pkg(8) repos config is in the _Base System_ /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf file.

root@pkgbase:~ # grep '^[^#]' /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 
FreeBSD-ports: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_quarterly_${VERSION_MINOR}",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

The _Base System_ packages pkg(8) repos config is in the 'third party' /usr/local/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf file.

root@pkgbase:~ # grep '^[^#]' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf 
FreeBSD-base: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

This is the DEFAULT setup just after the bsdinstall(8) installation.

I mean .. where is the LOGIC in that?

Its EXACTLY the opposite as it should be ...
