Description Ed Maste freebsd_committer

usr.sbin/pkg/pkg.c specifies the filename for the pkg package via:

snprintf(url, MAXPATHLEN, "%s/Latest/pkg.txz", packagesite);

we should support the same set of compression types as pkg itself (tzst, txz, tbz, tgz, tar)

Comment 1 Ed Maste freebsd_committer

In discussion with manu and bapt, we should accept:

.pkg <proposed compression-agnostic format>
.tzst <tar + zstd>
.txz <tar + xz, current format>
.tbz <tar + bz, uninteresting>
.tgz <tar + gzip>
.tar <uncompressed tar>

Also note that libarchive internally detects the compression format, so we do not actually care about the extension, just find a matching file.

It should probably fetch the meta.conf file and use that to find out the extension, no?

(In reply to Mathieu Arnold from comment #3)
It could, but I'd guess we'd want also try looping over all extensions as a fallback anyway?

I note that full-blown pkg(8) seems to have a similar problem with meta.txz:

root@viper:/var/db/pkg# pkg update -fr FreeBSD-base
Updating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue...
Fetching meta.conf: 100%    164 B   0.2kB/s    00:01

Processing entries: 100%
FreeBSD-base repository update completed. 193 packages processed.

OK, that looks good, it fetched meta.conf... but then:

root@viper:/var/db/pkg# pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
Updating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue...
pkg: file:///usr/local/pkgbase/repo/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/meta.txz: No such file or directory

(In reply to Kyle Evans from comment #5)

I've tracked down the behavior in this comment to that described in this issue: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/1886

the bootstrap now handles .pkg and all on all version but freebsd 11.4 and 12.2
