Hi all, Given that PKG_PATH and pkg.conf(5)'s installpath, now supports %c, %a, etc. sequences, it might be worth advertising it a bit more by changing all relevant uname(1), arch(1)/machine(1) occurrences or (hard-coded release versions or hardware architectures for that matter) in the documentation.
While there, I have also taken the liberty of changing ftp.openbsd.org to your.local.mirror and ftp to http in packages(7) to keep it consistent with other examples. Main benefits: - as the sequences themselves - not need to hard-code the values - no need to run uname, arch/machine is sub-shells any more - short and sweet Regards, Raf Index: share/man/man7/packages.7 =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/src/share/man/man7/packages.7,v retrieving revision 1.40 diff -u -p -r1.40 packages.7 --- share/man/man7/packages.7 24 Oct 2015 08:44:49 -0000 1.40 +++ share/man/man7/packages.7 11 Jan 2016 14:26:49 -0000 @@ -240,7 +240,7 @@ are supported: pointing .Ev PKG_PATH to a distant package repository, e.g., .Bd -literal -offset 1n -# export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.2/packages/i386/ +# export PKG_PATH=http://your.local.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/%c/packages/%a/ .Ed .Pp will let Index: faq/faq15.html =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/www/faq/faq15.html,v retrieving revision 1.116 diff -u -p -r1.116 faq15.html --- faq/faq15.html 23 Nov 2015 03:15:50 -0000 1.116 +++ faq/faq15.html 11 Jan 2016 14:29:33 -0000 @@ -203,13 +203,13 @@ A list of possible locations to fetch pa Example 1: fetching from your <a href="../orders.html">CD-ROM</a>, assuming you mounted it on <tt>/mnt/cdrom</tt> <blockquote><pre> -$ <b>export PKG_PATH=/mnt/cdrom/$(uname -r)/packages/$(machine -a)/</b> +$ <b>export PKG_PATH=/mnt/cdrom/%c/packages/%a/</b> </pre></blockquote> <p> Example 2: fetching from a nearby <a href="../ftp.html">mirror</a> <blockquote><pre> -$ <b>export PKG_PATH=http://your.local.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(machine -a)/</b> +$ <b>export PKG_PATH=http://your.local.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/%c/packages/%a/</b> </pre></blockquote> <p> @@ -404,7 +404,7 @@ HTTP, or SCP locations.
