I.e., man page entry, but no fileNot a bug, because empty files aren't needed, more or less. It's /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_install.conf. To figure that out: $ ktrace pkg_add $ kdump | egrep NAMI ktrace is highly useful to figure out what's going on, and casual use is not hard.Also, is there a pkg_* command to provide a list of either all available pkgs for installation, or all available uninstalled pkgs ? Also, how about upgrades for any installed pkgs ?See pkgin and nih, both in pkgsrc. They do similar things, and pkgin seems to have more users. Once you download the binary pkg from netbsd.org and pkg_add it, you can read its docs and run it.I don't find pkgin or nih on my system: 4256EE1 # which pkgin 4256EE1 # which pkg_in 4256EE1 # which nih 4256EE1 # uname -a NetBSD 4256EE1.CFD.COM 6.1.5 NetBSD 6.1.5 (GENERIC) amd64 4256EE1 # Pilot error ?Hi you can setup pkgsrc either by downloading the tarball or getting it by cvs. cd /usr cvs checkout -rpkgsrc-2015Q2 -P pkgsrc Above creates and populates the directory /usr/pkgsrc /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/nih /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgin An alternative is to just download the packages you want. ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org /pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -m)/6.1_2015Q2/All David
OK, I tried: 4256EE1 # cd /usr/ 4256EE1 # cvs checkout -rpkgsrc-2015Q2 -P pkgsrc cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable. 4256EE1 #I do recall having to do something similar on this box (FreeBSD 9.3R-p13) last year when I set it up. There everything is installed under /usr/local, i.e. system pkg's *and* user compiled local stuff (& I only use it for flash support, nothing else). Where is the std./canonical place for the pkgsrc root dir ? TIA & have a good one.
P.S. BTW, I intend to maintain this box *solely* from downloaded, pre-compiled, generic pkg's (as I do this box), not by compiling stuff up from scratch (by default).
