Hello,
I just tried 11-beta2 – as usual, many thanks for all your hard work,
Devs and REs!
I'm very concerned that there's still just a bootstrap-pkg :-(
Most of the machines I'm responsible for don't have internet access –
and won't ever have.
Currently, I don't have a 11-machine for building pkg(8) handy.
How Do I get pkg(8) the official way (for machines without internet access)?
Are there official ftp servers available for manual downloading (I know
of pkgs SRV lookup method, but since I need to 'scp' packages from
arbitrary internet-connected clients, I can't utilize pkg(8) especially
in a situation like now, where I have not a single compatible
alternative client/host).
pkg(8) has biten my some dozend times since stable/10 due to it's ring
dependency :-( :-( :-(
Please, don't ship FreeBSD 11 without a full version of pkg(8) in the base!
Thanks,
-Harry
