(all they might discover is that a conflict is detected then a new pass in the solver is needed and and the problems is solved properly by the removal of ossp-uuid-perl and installation of p5-OSSP-uuid. regards, Bapt pgpNHoB84ptG3.pgp Description: PGP signature

Taking the last entry which says to "pkg set -o misc/p5-OSSP-uuid:misc/ossp-uuid-perl", just do it for me pkg!

What is done in the FreeBSD DVD is creatign a conf files manually:
local: {
url: "http://where";
}
and env REPOS_DIR=/path/to/the/directory/containing/the/file pkg ...

same as above or if you already have pkg bootstrapped you can do pkg add
http://./yourpkg.txz
which makes me see that 1.3.0.a1 has lost pkg add|install http://... which we
need to fix for alpha2
Thanks for the first bug report. :)

Looks great! Thanks as always for the work. I do have one question (below).

Can you suggest alternatives? 1. Installing/bootstrapping the latest pkg from a specific source. Often I build in an environment that is firewalled from the Internet at large but I have a local repo. (And it's nice to know exactly what version with which options I'm installing.) 2. Installing a package that includes a repo file for my local custom repo. This is a chicken-and-egg problem for which PACKAGESITE was a nice solution since there's no risk of a stale repo file being left behind--either the package is installed (with the correct/current repo file) or it isn't.

[HEADSUP] pkg 1.3.0 alpha1: Breath of fresh air from Kirov
Hello, I'm really pleased to announce that the release process for the new major version of pkg(8) has started with this first alpha1 release. The main feature for this release is the complete rework of the solver. pkg(8) now features a real SAT solver and uses it for every operations requested by the user that may add, upgrade or remove packages. This work is is the result of the very succesfull Google Summer of Code 2013, by Vsevolod Stakhov (vsevolod@ also known as cebka). This is a major improvement for the project, and the fundation for lots of new features in the future. I would like to thanks Vsevolod for all the new ideas and hard work he has done (not limited to the new solver.) Back to the release now. pkg 1.3.0 comes with the following new features: - New solver that can support external solvers using the CUDF format and the internal SAT solver - pkg-ssh(8) is now sandboxed using capsicum if available - pkg-ssh(8) now uses poll(2) - Remove StringList usage to improve portability - Rework the build system to using autotools to help portability - Now fetching is done to a temporary location and cleaned up if it fails - Remove support for PACKAGESITE - pkg-audit(8): remove support for portaudit compact database (only VulnXML will be used) - Improved UI experience based on jmmv write up (http://julipedia.meroh.net/search/label/cli-design) - Hide the average speed from the progress bar (confusing for users) - Reworking the database locking mechanism into a finer grain and more clever system - Dynamic conflict handling if a conflict on files is detected at the sanity check level, try to solve the problem again with the new conflict information - Fix %t (timestamp) modifier in pkg_printf(3) - pkg-info(8): full output now has a new field "date installed" - New pkg -o A=B to overwrite configuration from command line without the need of defining environment variables - pkg-install(8): can handle local files - pkg-add(8) is now an alias on pkg-install - Simplify API by using more and more libucl objects (hidden behind an opaque 'pkg_object') Thanks to everyone that has contributed code for this release: Alberto Villa, Alexandre Perrin, Baptiste Daroussin, Brad Davis, Bryan Drewery, Jamie Landeg Jones, John Marino, Matthew Seaman, Maximilian Gaß, Michael Gehring, Michael Gmelin, Rodrigo Osorio, Rui Paulo, Sean Channel, Stanislav E. Putrya, Vsevolod Stakhov, Xin Li, coctic Thanks also to all people reporting bugs, sharing ideas, testing and using pkg(8). regards, Bapt pgpTeFc0zuahf.pgp Description: PGP signature
