Bug ID: 291501
Summary: Users should not be advised to overwrite
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: conf
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/70edd3c126a591dec129958d3e103521de84746d/usr.sbin/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.quarterly#L6>,
for example:
# echo "FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }" >
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
This will overwrite an existing file.
An existing file is used to enable the FreeBSD-base repository (and pkgbase is
the default with more than just -disc1 and -dvd1 FreeBSD Installer for
15.0-RELEASE).
Overwriting the file will cause the operator to not gain updates to base.
----
Encouragement to overwrite is widespread, not limited to the src tree.
Attention to the src tree (this bug report) might be a priority:
- before the next security advisory (SA) or
- parallel to the next errata notice (EN).
