Thanks! I exported PKG_PATH as instructed, but there’s no pkgin there AFAICT: riscv64# set | grep PKG PKG_PATH=https://pkg.zia.io/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/riscv64/current_2025Q2/All/ riscv64# export PKG_PATH riscv64# pkg_add pkgin pkg_add: no pkg found for 'pkgin', sorry. pkg_add: 1 package addition failed However it looks like 2025Q1 has it. riscv64# PKG_PATH=https://pkg.zia.io/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/riscv64/current_2025Q1/All/ riscv64# pkg_add pkgin pkg_add: pkgin-24.12.0: warning: was built for a different platform: pkg_add: NetBSD/riscv64 10.99 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/riscv64 10.99.14 (this host) pkg_add: pkg_install-20250219: warning: was built for a different platform: pkg_add: NetBSD/riscv64 10.99 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/riscv64 10.99.14 (this host) pkg_add: sqlite3-3.48.0: warning: was built for a different platform: pkg_add: NetBSD/riscv64 10.99 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/riscv64 10.99.14 (this host) pkgin-24.12.0: copying /usr/pkg/share/examples/pkgin/repositories.conf.example to /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf alas pkgin doesn’t seem to work I expected it to: riscv64# pkgin search emacs processing remote summary (https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/riscv64/10.99/All)... pkgin: Could not fetch https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/riscv64/10.99/All/pkg_summary.gz: Not Found as it’s searching https://cdn.netbsd.org <https://cdn.netbsd.org/>, not https://pkg.zia.io <https://pkg.zia.io/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/riscv64/current_2025Q1/All/> Thanks, Tommy
