Bug ID: 254856
Summary: base system cannot pull/update official src or ports
repos, lacks git client
Product: Base System
Version: 13.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The base system provides no means of pulling or updating src or the ports tree
from the official git repos.
To get a copy of the official src or ports tree, currently a git client must be
installed as pre-compiled package (if available on the given arch), or compiled
from a (potentially outdated) ports tree obtained by other means (such as
portsnap).
Providing a git client in base would obviate the need to either download the
pkg database and install a package, or somehow obtain a ports tree copy to
compile a git client in order to have an up-to-date src or ports tree.
