Solved FreeBSD-base has a wrong packagesite

freezr · Wednesday at 5:02 AM

Hi guys,

I am trying to make friend with FreeBSD-base but it looks like it is quite picky and selective...

I use this repository as recommended by the Handbook:

Code:

FreeBSD-base {
    url = "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/base_release_${VERSION_MINOR}";
    mirror_type = "srv";
    signature_type = "fingerprints";
    fingerprints = "/usr/share/keys/pkg";
    enabled = yes;
}

However I get a lot of complains:

Code:

# pkg update -r FreeBSD-base

How can I fix this?

Thanks...

The problem is your trusted keys directory. You can run the following commands to fetch the keys, then set your fingerprints to "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-${VERSION_MAJOR}"

1. mkdir -p /usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15/trusted
2. fetch -o "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15/trusted" https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/share/keys/pkgbase-15/trusted/awskms-15
3. fetch -o "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15/trusted" https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/share/keys/pkgbase-15/trusted/backup-signing-15

Shouldn't be key provided during the installation time?

Change the fingerprints to: fingerprints = "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-${VERSION_MAJOR}";

Why base_release_0 uses /usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15 and base_latest/base_weekly uses /usr/share/keys/pkg i don't know.

Is this confirmed? That base_release uses pkgbase-VERSION AND base_latest and base_weekly use pkg only

That solved the issue... However it is totally confused...

The linked section only indicates that it is not possible to upgrade/update from a Alpha/Beta build to the release version due to "late breaking changes". It does not explain the why base_release_0 uses one set of keys and the other two (base_latest and base_weekly) another set.

I'm just mentioning this because the handbook has this information at the moment: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#_preparations

Code:

FreeBSD-base {
    url = "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/base_release_0";
    mirror_type = "srv";
    signature_type = "fingerprints";
    fingerprints = "/usr/share/keys/pkg";
    enabled = yes;
}

And as can be seen in the git repo: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/usr.sbin/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.quarterly-release?h=releng/15.0

But when using base_latest/base_weekly you have to use another set:

Code:

FreeBSD-base: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: no
}

This is a bit confusing and has led to some issues with upgrades as can been seen on the forums.

Hi guys,

I apology, I messed everything by myself.
I restored the repository the way they must do. Them were already setup and I made a pebcak...

Anyway I am still convinced that FreeBSD should use a simpler scheming naming and not the smarter...
