Hi everyone, I am a FreeBSD beginner and I have a system that is offline, this means I can't use any online package repo to install packages on said machine. This machine uses the i386 architecture and is on FreeBSD 12.0. Is there a way to download a repository of all the latest binary packages...

Discussion: I set up a Poudriere repo on host A (192.168.1.149). It has all the packages needed to bootstrap pkg on another host with a barebones install. My issue seems to be with bootstrapping pkg on a bare-bones host B (192.168.1.120), a practice VM. On host B, I pointed pkg to the Poudriere...
