Apologies for another newbie question. Trying to get my head around package
management.
If I run "pkg search certbot" using the official AWS FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE image
it finds:
py27-certbot-0.16.0_1,1 Let's Encrypt client
but if run the same search using my locally installed FreeBSD, which happens to
be a slightly older, 11.0-STABLE, I find the newer (which also happens to be
the current) version of that package:
py27-certbot-0.17.0,1 Let's Encrypt client
In both cases pkg.conf and the repo config are the same, with all the settings
at their unchanged by me defaults (url:
"pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly”). Both versions of pkg itself are
the same. As far as I can see, I am resolving to the same mirror in both cases,
as I see the same IP (213.138.116.73) when I ping pkg.freebsd.org.
When I manually navigate to
http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterly/All/ I can see the older
version of the package (py27-certbot-0.16.0_1,1) on the server. When I navigate
to the latest tree (http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/) I can
see the newer package in there.
Why does my locally installed pkg find the newer version if both configs point
to the same, quarterly, repo URL?
Many thanks,
Rafal
