pkgng and local directory repository?

B

BlueCoder

I bit the bullet and installed and converted to pkgng.

Only one problem: I can't figure out how to properly setup a local private repository.

In the past I just used pkg_add(1) and a local directory. Ether nullfs(5) jails or NFS mounts across systems.

But the pkg.conf does not seem to allow me to use either:
Code: 
packagesite: /packages
packagesite: file://packages
So I need a HTTP/FTP server to access files that are available locally?

Tell me it isn't so.
 
I use a http URL even on the machine that hosts the packages that I build with ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel just to keep everything uniform but I could just as well use a file:// URL:

Code: 
packagesite: file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/....

Note the three slashes, third one is the root directory.
 
Does it know enough not to cache the directory?

In fact is there some option in general to tell pkgng not to cache package files? I didn't see it.

I setup the simple dhttpd in a jail (pkgng.local) just for this purpose and rather like it. Now I just don't want to double store pkg files on every computer and in every jail I install packages into.
