Hi, Fleuriot,

Not sure what's going on there in your ktrace, but not generating a
repo.txz is normal for pkg-1.2.x.  Instead, all the data is in the
digests.txz file -- which if you look at it is a tarfile containing a
single YAML document, plus possibly some crypto signature stuff if
you've enabled that.  Make sure your pkg clients are all running pkg-1.2
and it should just work for you.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
