'All' is implied to pkg_add when PACKAGESITE is explicitly defined

The most intuitive PACKAGESITE is the one pointing to the directory *before*
All including trailing slash. This way one can add packages by origin, which
is more human friendly then knowing the specific version or what the mangled
LATEST_LINK is. pkg_add will then do the right thing with respect to
dependencies.
But to explain the PACKAGESITE variable: it is expected to point to the final
location (including trailing slash) for the command line argument(s) given.
pkg_add will try to figure out how to get to 'All/' and 'Latest/' the best it
can if the url ${PACKAGESITE}$1 returns not found and for dependencies.

PACKAGESITE Directory Structure
Hello, list. After trying to figure out the incorrect directory structure for some of the packages hosted on my site, I am at a loss. After reading through /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c from HEAD, lines 337-340 seems to suggest that if 'Latest' is not found, 'All' is implied to pkg_add when PACKAGESITE is explicitly defined (otherwise overridden with hard-coded values). With that, I am still trying to figure out the proper hierarchy: Scenario 1.) If I 'pkg_add -r foo.3.2_1.tbz' from www.example.com/packages, should 'All' be implied after 'packages' (packages/All)? Scenario 2.) Same pkg_add command from www.example.com/packages/mybinary/package -- should 'All' be a subdirectory of packages/ or mybinary/? It appears that this if 'Latest/' is not found, overwrite as 'All/' may be expected, but I am getting conflicting output. Any input is appreciated. -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
