FreeBSD 10 port archive

[charlesw1024]

Where can I find a FreeBSD 10.0 (i386) port archive that I can use with pkt? I checked http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/ but it lists 1->9.2 and https://pkg.freebsd.org/ provides 11+

I cant seem to find anything that provides ports for 10.

Edit: I understand that 10 is EOL, but this is for a platform that I'm not able to upgrade/update to a new version.

Release date of 10.0 was January 20, 2014, EOL February 28, 2015, ports quarterly branches 2014Q1 - 2015Q1 will match that period. You can devel/git check out those branches. If you are unfamiliar with GIT see chapter 4.5.1. Installing the Ports Collection, Procedure: Git Method.

alternatively you can build from ports if you can find the distfiles
the ports tree you can extract from the image

Why are you still using FreeBSD 10.0?

Not my choice. I'm trying to build some new software for an old platform.

I suggest not doing that and recommend replacing that system with a recent, supported FreeBSD version.

This system is an accident waiting to happen, don't get burned by it.

Welcome to FreeBSD Forums.

If you want to use pkg for installations, <https://www.google.com/search?q="FreeBSD:10:i386/latest"+pkg&tbs=li:1#unfucked> finds (amongst other things):

http://ftp.cn.debian.org/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A10%3Ai386/latest/​

Taking a hint from the comments within /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf:

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

ee /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

Content might be:

FreeBSD: {
    url: "http://ftp.cn.debian.org/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A10%3Ai386/latest/"
}

---

Whatever route you take, proceed with caution. Good luck.

I know firsthand how much work it is to migrate an older system. Fresh out of college, I used to work part-time in a small shop where they had a single SCO UNIX server that did pretty much EVERYTHING (database, email, filesharing, web server, printing...). I was able to extract email services to a different machine on which I installed FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE (Yeah, this is an old story, 6.0-RELEASE was the supported version at the time), and that relieved the stress placed on the other services. The shop's owner persisted in wanting to use IBM DB2 flat-file-based database with an ncurses interface, in spite of a long line of admins telling him to upgrade to MySQL or something similar. Heck, even printing from that database was managed by lpd, and the printer was a dot matrix printer that was on its last legs and occasionally needed an actual kick before it produced anything.
