Repository navigation
Joyent mirror appears broken #276
Description
Activity
Hey Tim, unfortunately there is currently an issue with the repository that means any attempt to upgrade could end up leaving users in a bad place. I've tried to make users aware of this by posting https://twitter.com/jperkin/status/1281253912717262850 and to the pkgsrc-users list, but have also temporarily removed the
pkg_summary.*files to basically do what you've done, noticed it's broken and reached out so I can tell you about it.Essentially if you run
pkg_add mkshright now, then when the repository is restored in the next few days the upgrade should proceed smoothly as normal. Without runningpkg_add mkshit's likely bad things will happen unfortunately.Sorry for the problem, it's a rare issue related to the bootstrap packages changing for which there currently isn't a good workaround. Thankfully it's likely to be a one-time event so once everyone is past this it should be fine again.
