>Synopsis: local PKG_PATH searches only packages-stable on 6.3-release
>Category: user
>Environment:
System : OpenBSD 6.3
Details : OpenBSD 6.3 (GENERIC.MP) #107: Sat Mar 24 14:21:59 MDT
2018
[email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP
Architecture: OpenBSD.amd64
Machine : amd64
>Description:
When PKG_PATH is set to a local directory, eg.
PKG_PATH=/var/www/htdocs/%m on 6.3-release, only
%c/packages-stable/amd64 is searched (pkg_add(1) says it should be
*also* searched in addition to %c/packages/%a).
>How-To-Repeat:
Have some packages (eg. a mirror) in
/var/www/htdocs/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/packages/amd64, and:
# ls -l /var/www/htdocs/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/packages/amd64/2048-*tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 lotheac wheel 9299 Mar 28 14:19
/var/www/htdocs/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/packages/amd64/2048-cli-0.9.1.tgz
# PKG_PATH=/var/www/htdocs/%m pkg_info 2048-cli
file:/var/www/htdocs/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/packages-stable/amd64/: empty
>Fix:
'ln -s packages /var/www/htdocs/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/packages-stable' works
around the problem, as does using http(s) mirrors.
