pkg search/pkg install finds nothing

[First_Law_of_Unix]

I'm also getting the same error as to op:

pkg install FreeCAD

pkg: No packages available to install matching 'FreeCAD' have been found in the repositories

Seems like FreeCAD is still in working order:

FreshPorts -- cad/freecad: General purpose 3D CAD modeller

FreeCAD is a general purpose parametric 3D modeler. FreeCAD is aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits in a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties. FreeCAD features tools similar to Catia, SolidWorks or...

I also did:
portsnap fetch
portsnap update

and also:
pkg update -f

Still same issue and doesn't find anything:
pkg search freecad

Thanks.

I'm getting the same issue and can not install FreeCAD using pkg install FreeCAD and pkg search FreeCAD doesn't find it, followed the advice here too...

No point in waking up anymore years-old threads.

Alright, I'll make a new thread, I felt like I was going to spam the forum asking the same question.

Not if you are on 13.1 amd64 and 'latest' repository.

FreeBSD:13:amd64    | pkg-fallout    | 0.20.1_1

https://www.freshports.org/cad/freecad#packages .

I have a 'latest' local repository database from 2022-11-22:

 % pkg search -r local FreeCAD
FreeCAD-0.20.1_4               General purpose 3D CAD modeller

The current remote 'latest' repository from 2022-11-26 returns empty. There is a build failure.

I also did:
portsnap fetch
portsnap update

The ports tree has no connection with pkg(8) operations, except pkg-updating(8)..

Thank You, well that explains it.

I am using FreeBSD 13.1 using 'latest' repository.

I have compiled it from source tree, did got the job done, however couple of compile errors occurred and had to install view packages manually.
