Dear all,
today I tried pkg(8) for the first time.
Thanks for all the great work!
One thing I'm missing is a auto-matching-logic for PKG_CACHEDIR if
'url'
starts with "file://" (in ${PRREFIX}/pkg/repos/mylocalrepo.conf).
Currently, local available packages will be copied to the local cache
dir by default (if not circumvented by 'env
PKG_CACHEDIR=/path/to/local-repo pkg install ?' e.g.).
Such a PKG_CACHEDIR-matching-logic should be enabled by default IMHO.
Maybe it's usefull to have a "pkg-install -K" option, (like
-K,--keep
for old pkg_add), to disable the PKG_CACHEDIR-mathcing-logic (for
example if someone provides cd-repo and intentionally wants to keep
packages in PKG_CACHEDIR).
Anyone else missing that feature?
Thanks,
-Harry

The filenames are stored differently in the cachedir and now symlinks are used to point to the newly cached files - which will remove all of your existing packages.> > Maybe it's usefull to have a "pkg-install -K" option, (like -K,--keep > for old pkg_add), to disable the PKG_CACHEDIR-mathcing-logic (for > example if someone provides cd-repo and intentionally wants to keep > packages in PKG_CACHEDIR). > > Anyone else missing that feature? > > Thanks, > > -Harry > >This is somewhat an extension to the feature request in https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/697 I will take a look before 1.3 release to see if disabling cache for file:// is straight forward.
