Directory indexes are turned off, probably for the same reason they've been turned off on the package repos.

It looks like pkg mirrors are not allowing indexes on folders anymore.
For example https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/ now returns 403/Forbidden.

Anybody knows why ?

It's not funny. You can take your jokes somewhere else.

Why use base_release_0? I don't think it's the default.

Default.

Code:

$ cat /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf | grep base_release
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_${VERSION_MINOR}",

I get the same here from curl tests. I'm not currently on a system that has pkgbase activated, cannot use pkg. Will try this evening.

It's maybe a temporary breakdown. Retry later.

Emrion · 2026-02-03T17:06:23+0000

Ok, I tested now in a 15.0-RELEASE VM. All is working correctly. I updated it to p2 with pkgbase.

However, I get the same errors with curl. So, that's the way it normally works. Just pkg knows how to dl the files.

Your problem hasn't been diagnosed with curl. It's something else. Maybe try to bootstrap pkg to see if that changes something.

Can`t access pkgbase pkg repo anymore
