—
system-wide package system configuration
The file /etc/pkg.conf contains system-wide options related to package handling, as a list of ‘keyword=value’ lines.
In particular, the base system “installation-and-update” shell scripts record the URL used for the installation as installpath. pkg_add(1) can then add or replace packages from the same location straight after the install.
Currently defined options are as follows:
PKG_PATH
is
not defined and no further options are defined.Each option uses a separate line, and follows the following template:
keyword = value
A list of values can also be specified over several lines using the variation:
keyword += value keyword += value ...
Keywords are case-insensitive.
Blank lines and comment lines (introduced by a #) are ignored.
Unknown keywords are ignored.
