Default pkgng - portmaster disabled problem
On two servers, I followed the instructions for updating to pkgng, with portmaster:
Code:
# portsnap fetch update
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster config clean build deinstall install
# echo "WITH_PKGNG=yes" >> /etc/make.conf
# pkg2ng
Now, one machine updates with portmaster without complaint, but the other says:
Code:
"Package installation support cannot be used with pkgng yet, it will be disabled."
I reinstalled portmaster again, but that didn't help. Suggestions?

FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE

Install ports-mgmt/portmaster again and make sure you enable PKGNGPATCH.

Yes, I've already tried twice
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster config clean build deinstall install

and confirmed PKGNGPATCH box was checked. Same problem. And then attempting to run pkg2ng again complains of corrupted formats, since it uses pkg_info(1). So I'm still stuck.

"Package installation support cannot be used with pkgng yet, it will be disabled." Means just what it says.. You cannot use portmaster to install -packages- only ports.

Thanks, but as I mentioned, one (identically configured) other machine doesn't issue that warning. So still a bit of a puzzle...

Portmaster installed ports, but I haven't manually installed any packages using the 'pkg' command. Is that what you mean?

The portmaster warning about packages should only come up if you're running it with the -P or -PP flag (or equivalent setting in /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc, like using only packages for build dependencies, etc.).

There's no reason to use the package options of ports-mgmt/portmaster with PKGNG, use pkg install etc. directly.

Installing ports with portmaster while using binary packages for build-only dependencies (removing them right after installation) is a very nice thing to have. That's a regular option in portmaster.rc, and I hope to see it working again soon.
