Re: 2024Q2: 6277 packages to install on later "pkgin upgrade" run

[Van Ly <van.ly%sdf.org@localhost>]

PKGPATH is undefined in the shell.

In the conf file below, I commented out the prior repo entries and the
thousands of packages in need to install no longer show up.  Those prior
repos might've been there to include a package like sbcl that I
sometimes find missing in the latest repo. I was in the mistaken belief
that the first repo to contain the package would be use otherwise the
selection cascades down to the next line.



 -> /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf



1 # NetBSD OS release can look like 6.0_STABLE, do not use it as-is
2 https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/10.0_2024Q2/All
3 #https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/10.0_2024Q1/All
4 #https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/10.0_2023Q4/All
5 #https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/10.0/All



Took this step in the hope the package index would fix itself and it did. 



1 # pkgin update 
2 cleaning database from https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/10.0/All entries...
3 cleaning database from https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/10.0_2023Q4/All entries...
4 cleaning database from https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/10.0_2024Q1/All entries...
5 reading local summary...
6 processing local summary...
7 processing remote summary (https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/10.0_2024Q2/All)...
8 pkg_summary.gz 



This now looks better without the huge package download.
