Default Packagesite for pkgng
I have upgraded my VM to 10-CURRENT, and now I am using pkg for package management.

However, when I ran it for the first time, it spit out this:
# pkg install emacs
Code:
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: PACKAGESITE is not defined.
I have looked a bit and so far there is no official 10-CURRENT packagesite. What do you guys use for packagesite, and is there any "official" ones out there?

Hi, try this:

# cp /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
# pkg update

Or check http://pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org and set PACKAGESITE variable in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf. For example:

Code:
PACKAGESITE: http://pkgbeta.freebsd.org/freebsd-9-i386/latest/

Thanks, it is now installing emacs in the background

You don't have to really edit the configuration file though, it is fine as it is.

I am so far VERY impressed with pkg.

Sorry for the double post.

My PACKAGESITE as set by the configuration file does not work.

It reads: http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x8...atest/repo.txz and it cannot connect there. When I replace "pkg" with "pkgbeta" it works. However I looked at the repos on pkgbeta and they seem outdated.

What can I do?

EDIT: It works now and I didn't change anything. Interesting...

EDIT 2: It doesn't work now again.... :/

The packages for i386 are a month old. You are not using amd64?

During September the online repo did not get updated so I started to compile packages myself in a jail with ports-mgmt/poudriere.

Currently it is still pkgbeta instead of pkg.

No, I am not using amd64. This is an old netbook that does not even support 64-bit

You can always set up your own repository. I actually recommend doing that.
