Bug 257807

Summary: "pkg repo" command broken in 1.17.X
Product: Ports & Packages Reporter: pascal.guitierrez
Component: Individual Port(s)Assignee: freebsd-pkg (Nobody) <pkg>
Status: Closed Works As Intended

Description pascal.guitierrez 2021-08-13 09:47:28 UTC 
reading the man page describes:
pkg repo <repo-name>

ls /tmp/test    
curl-7.77.0.txz

Under pkg 1.16.X:
pkg repo /tmp/test 
Creating repository in /tmp/test: 100%
Packing files for repository: 100%

Under pkg 1.17.X:
pkg repo /tmp/test 
pkg: No package files have been found
Cannot create repository catalogue

Is this a bug or has something changed between pkg versions?

This commit was what broke `pkg repo`. Reverting it make the command happy again.

actually perhaps this is not a bug, since the default pkg extension has been changed from .txz to .pkg?

from the commit message:

- only consider the .pkg when creating a repository
  add an option REPO_ACCEPT_LEGACY_PKG to keep index old pkg

renaming the packages to *.pkg makes it work as expected:

pkg repo /tmp/test 
Creating repository in /tmp/test: 100%
Packing files for repository: 100%

ls /tmp/test | paste -
curl-7.77.0.pkg
meta.conf
meta.pkg
meta.txz
packagesite.pkg
packagesite.txz


and also when:
env REPO_ACCEPT_LEGACY_PKG=true pkg repo /tmp/test
Creating repository in /tmp/test: 100%
Packing files for repository: 100%

works on previous .txz files

so i'd say this is a non-issue?

Pascel analysis is the right one, this is a not an issue.

Thank-you for providing 
env REPO_ACCEPT_LEGACY_PKG=true
as I'm sure that many others that customise their ports will benefit from an ability to revert inhibiting behaviour.
