Bug ID: 291052
Summary: Request to offline-distribute kernel modules and
pkg(8) repositories in iso and img images.
Product: Base System
Version: 15.0-CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Now most files are distributed offline, except kernel modules and pkg(8)
repositories. This is very inconvenient for our region. Since bsdinstall was
not designed with disconnected-network situations in mind (that is, it does not
check whether the connection to freebsd.org is valid, nor does it perform speed
detection), it will continue even at a speed of only a few KB per second, and
it cannot be interrupted, because interrupting bsdinstall at any time and in
any place will cause it to fall back to TTY or exit directly, and entering
bsdinstall will return to the very beginning. Now even the most conservative
Debian has begun distributing non-free firmware inside their iso images. Please
ask the FreeBSD project to consider distributing kernel modules and pkg(8)
repositories offline in iso and img images.
