pkg(8)'ing FreeBSD base!

April 22, 2016

Worked out fine. There is a few packages though..

pkg info 'FreeBSD-*' | wc -l
     296

I have uploaded the packages on pkg.kcbark.net.

Just add the following to your pkg repo configuration

echo 'FreeBSD-base: {
        url: "https://pkg.kcbark.net/base/${ABI}/latest",
        mirror_type: "https",
        enabled: yes
}' >> /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/kcbark.conf

And run

pkg update -r FreeBSD-base

The repository includes kernels for Lenovo Thinkpad T430 (2349U2B) and Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen3 (20BTS00R00). If you have a X1 Carbon then add kernel=kernel.X1CARBONG3 to your /boot/loader.conf.

I take no responsibility if you end up blowing your system up.
