I have an old machine (10.4-RELEASE) and I need to install Python 3.8 on it. This is my pkg.conf file: FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg", enabled: yes } This is what...

Hi everyone, I am a FreeBSD beginner and I have a system that is offline, this means I can't use any online package repo to install packages on said machine. This machine uses the i386 architecture and is on FreeBSD 12.0. Is there a way to download a repository of all the latest binary packages...

Hi all, I'd like to follow the quarterly package repository (because I value stability and reliability over new features), but I need to have a few packages compiled with custom options, and this results in a problem: Ports does not have a quarterly release, only a "rolling release" of sorts...

This is a HOWTO on how to build your own ports-mgmt/pkg packages in a jail using ports-mgmt/poudriere. Few notes about notation: First few mentions of a ported program will be a "port link", like net/mtr. I will not repeat the link too many times however. I will use a link to a manual page...
