Re: pkg_dry on DragonFlyBSD

[Antonio Huete Jimenez <ahuete.devel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

pkgin (formerly known as pkg_dry) has been now released to pkgrsc WIP.
Please do some testing and report any errors you may encounter:

o  If you already have the pkgsrc WIP tree:
  # cd /usr
  # make pkgsrc-wip-update
  # cd cd pkgsrc/wip/pkgin
  # bmake install clean

o If you don't have pkgsrc WIP tree:
  # cd /usr
  # make pkgsrc-wip-checkout
  # cd cd pkgsrc/wip/pkgin
  # bmake install clean

o If you just want to install the already built package (it may not
work on DFBSD 2.x.x):

  # pkg_add http://earthborder.quantumachine.net/pub/DragonFlyBSD/pkgin-20090511.tgz

Now, you will need to set the PKG_REPOS environment variable. You can
choose a mirror from the ones listed here:
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/mirrors/ and select the appropiate URL for
your DragonFlyBSD release:

For example, for HEAD you do:

  # setenv PKG_REPOS
http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/packages/DragonFly-2.3.0/All/
  # pkgin update
  processing local summary...
  updating database: 100%
  downloading pkg_summary.bz2: 100%
  processing remote summary
(http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/packages/DragonFly-2.3.0/All/)...
  updating database: 100%

Please, adapt your shell profile file to set PKG_REPOS environment variable.

You can now manage your pkgsrc packages in a easy way :-)

PD: Any bugs you encounter with pkgin, please report them to pkgsrc
wip lists (https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pkgsrc-wip-review),
not to DFBSD bugs list.

Cheers,
Antonio Huete
