There are several steps: + +1. FreeBSD stores its ports pkg database in /var/db/pkg. It is therefore +recommended that you choose a different location (e.g. /usr/pkgdb) by +using the --pkgdbdir option to the bootstrap script. + +2. If you do not intend to use the FreeBSD ports tools, it's probably a +good idea to move them out of the way to avoid confusion, e.g.: + cd /usr/sbin + mv pkg_add pkg_add.orig + mv pkg_create pkg_create.orig + mv pkg_delete pkg_delete.orig + mv pkg_info pkg_info.orig + +3. An example /etc/mk.conf file will be placed in mk.conf.example file +when you use the bootstrap script. + +bootstrap-pkgsrc has been tested on FreeBSD 4.7 and 5.0 (i386). |
