PKG.CONF(5) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual PKG.CONF(5)NAMEpkg.conf - system-wide package system configuration
DESCRIPTION
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:
fullwidth Set to yes if you really want to use the full width of the
terminal for the progressmeter.
installpath URL to package repository updated during installation. Used
for accessing packages if the environment variable PKG_PATH
is not defined and no further options are defined.
nochecksum Set to yes to waive MD5 checksums during package deletions.
ntogo Set to yes to display (done/total) number of package
messages.
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.
