>Description: Hey FreeBSD Dev's! We have a local Tinderbox server to build packages from ports, and then we use Puppet to install said packages. When puppet uses pkg_add, it does not grab the PACKAGESITE environment variable, and defaults to using the hard-coded value of ftp.freebsd.org in pkg_add itself. It would be preferable if pkg_add was able to look up PACKAGESITE in any one of the system configuration file locations like rc.conf, rc.conf.local, etc... Or, even something like /etc/pkg.conf. This seems like it would be a nice enhancement to a core FreeBSD tool, and FreeBSD is always really good at being super flexible. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
