${ABI} variable in pkg config

[MattP]

I am using a pkg repository config file that contains ${ABI} in a URL.

On v14.3 this is returning

Freebsd:14:amd64

when I believe it should return

FreeBSD:14:amd64

.

The OS List in libpkg/pkg_abi.c (on Github) suggests the OS string should be FreeBSD (capital BSD). I didn't install src during installation so cannot check my specific build.

Unclear if there is an issue/explanation for this?

URLs are Case sensitive after the domain part.
There can be force rewrite to escape this but i don't know if it's implemented on the web server hosting the pkgs.

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/

Yep there's not rewrite option and opening BSD with small letters won't work.

https://pkg.freebsd.org/Freebsd:14:amd64/

What does pkg repos report?

Has it been set in pkg.conf perhaps? It should be automatically generated but you can overrule it by setting ABI in pkg.conf(5).

     ABI: string  The ABI of the package you want to install, for example
                  ‘FreeBSD:14:amd64’.  This should be set in combination with
                  the OSVERSION option if targeting FreeBSD to specify the
                  exact target version.  Default: derived based on ABI_FILE.

     ABI_FILE: string
                  Set the file used to determine the target ABI.  Default:
                  /usr/bin/uname, or if not found, /bin/sh.

Also, what does uname -s show?

As mentioned, you might have ABI set wrong somewhere, you can grep for it:

[1-0] % grep '^[^#]*ABI' /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf:  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf:  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_quarterly_${VERSION_MINOR}",
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf:ABI = "Freebsd:14:amd64";
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf:    url: pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest,
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf:    url: pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest_${VERSION_MINOR},

This shows the ABI wrongly defined.
