Using descriptive repository names for FreeBSD-provided and locally-built packages

Using descriptive repository names for FreeBSD-provided and locally-built packages

Three distinctive names

% pkg -vv | grep ': {' | sort
  FreeBSD-base: { 
  FreeBSD-ports: { 
  local-poudriere: { 
%

FreeBSD-base for FreeBSD – the base operating system, packaged (pkgbase)
FreeBSD-ports for the FreeBSD ports collection
local-poudriere for the packages that I build locally, using ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel.

Corresponding paths and filenames

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD-ports.conf
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/poudriere.conf

% cd /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
% file ./FreeBSD-base.conf /etc/pkg/FreeBSD-ports.conf /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf ./poudriere.conf
