Missing package for java/eclipse

[eternal_noob]

Hi,

i am using FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p2 with latest packages and tried to install java/eclipse via pkg but it seems there is no such package:

root@xxx:~ # pkg install eclipse
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'eclipse' have been found in the repositories

The freshports site however states:

To install the port: cd /usr/ports/java/eclipse/ && make install clean
To add the package: pkg install eclipse

What happened to it?

PS: I didn't try to install it via ports, since i don't want packages and ports mixed because i heard bad things can happen if you do so...

Try again, or run pkg update -f or pkg upgrade. java/eclipse is present in the quarterly (in version 4.12_1) and latest (version 4.14) package repositories.

The package can go 'missing' if it fails to build for some reason or another.

Hi,

it's only in the amd64 repository. I am using i386 and there is no such package: http://pkg0.cyb.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:i386/latest/All/

Understood. Neither it's in quarterly. As SirDice said, it can faile to build, until it's resolved no packages available.

For better analysis of future problems it's advised to ad not only the version of the used system, but also the architecture.

The port is restricted to amd64 and powerpc64; i386 was removed in r498880.

I see. Looking again at the freshports site, i see it reads:

ONLY_FOR_ARCHS: amd64 powerpc64

I must have missed that. :/

Thanks!
