I'm using an svn checkout of https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head. I also
cleaned my package cache and forced an update of the local catalogues, but
pkg tells me the latest version of pkg available, at least for amd64
10.2p3, is 1.5.6.
I rolled back my local ports tree to r397904 (r397905 was the
MINIMAL_PKG_VERSION bump) and it works fine.
I'm guessing from other posts on this list that pkg 1.6.0 out, but it
doesn't seem to be in the public pkg repo. I didn't see anything in
UPDATING about it.
What am I missing?
I believe that 10.2p3 only updated to the latest quarterly package build.
If you want something more recent, you will need to edit the config file
(/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf) to use "latest" repo. I believe that url: "pkg+
http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"; should do the trick.
More of concern is why svn is not working. What does "svn info /usr/ports"
show? "svn status /usr/ports"? I and assure you that pkg-1.6.1 IS in svn. I
have it and built and installed it earlier today. You can confirm what is
in the repo by checking out the web interface:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/ports-mgmt/pkg/.
svn is working fine. pkg is installed from pkgs, not ports. The issue
I'm raising is that the ports tree made mandatory something that isn't
available by default in 10.2.
I ultimately fixed it by switching to the "latest" repo (the repo config
edit you mentioned). I was already disinterested in the quarterly repos
because it smacks of Debian-ness, and this confirms why
stability-by-staleness is a bad idea.
