9.2 or 10.0 and txz packages

Is there a plan to have repo for files, used by
pkgng on upcomming releases?
Best regards

                      Zoran

If you mean that 10.0-RELEASE will come with a PKGNG-style package
repository, then yes.

9.2-RELEASE will most likely still use the old-style pkg_* format, so if
you want to use PKGNG with that you'll have to either build your own
repository from ports or use someone else's repository. For example, my
9.1-RELEASE/amd64 repository is publicly available and people have also
reported success with PC-BSD's repository.

Hope this helps,

Fonz

Yes, and the implementation of that plan is advancing well.  Hardware is
up and running, and the build system is pretty much ready to go.  Most
of the action at the moment is about reducing the number of ports that
fail to build with clang, plus coping with a number of new shared
libraries which will be in the 10.x base system but that come from the
ports for 9.x or older.

If you want to try it out:

% cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pkg-test.conf
---
pkg-test:
  URL: http://pkg-test.freebsd.org/pkg-test-${ABI}/latest
  ENABLED: YES
  MIRROR_TYPE: SRV

It's not in regular full production updating  mode yet, and obviously
it's under a temporary URL for testing purposes, but it does have a
reasonably complete and fairly recent set of packages for amd64/i386
8.x, 9,x or 10.x.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
