PKG_INSTALL.CONF(5)	    BSD File Formats Manual	   PKG_INSTALL.CONF(5)

NAME
     pkg_install.conf — configuration file for package installation tools

DESCRIPTION
     The file pkg_install.conf contains system defaults for the package
     installation tools as a list of variable-value pairs.  Each line has the
     format VARIABLE=VALUE.  If the value consists of more than one line, each
     line is prefixed with VARIABLE=.

     The current value of a variable can be checked by running
	   pkg_admin config-var VARIABLE

     Some variables are overriden by environmental variables of the same name.
     Those are marked by (*).

     The following variables are supported:

     ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES
	     Space-separated list of licenses packages are allowed to carry.
	     License names are case-sensitive.

     ACTIVE_FTP
	     Force the use of active FTP.

     CACHE_INDEX
	     Cache directory listenings in memory.  This avoids retransfers of
	     the large directory index for HTTP and is enabled by default.

     CERTIFICATE_ANCHOR_PKGS
	     Path to the file containing the certificates used for validating
	     binary packages.  A package is trusted when a certificate chain
	     ends in one of the certificates contained in this file.  The cer‐
	     tificates must be PEM-encoded.

     CERTIFICATE_ANCHOR_PKGVULN
	     Analogous to CERTIFICATE_ANCHOR_PKGS.  The pkg-vulnerabilities is
	     trusted when a certificate chain ends in one of the certificates
	     contained in this file.

     CERTIFICATE_CHAIN
	     Path to a file containing additional certificates that can be
	     used for completing certificate chains when validating binary
	     packages or pkg-vulnerabilities files.

     CHECK_LICENSE
	     Check the license conditions of packages before installing them.
	     Supported values are:

	     no		    The check is not performed.

	     yes	    The check is performed if the package has license
			    conditions set.

	     always	    Passing the license check is required.  Missing
			    license conditions are considered an error.

     CHECK_END_OF_FILE
	     During vulnerability checks, consider packages that have reached
	     end-of-life as vulnerable.	 This option is enabled by default.

     CHECK_VULNERABILITIES
	     Check for vulnerabilities when installing packages.  Supported
	     values are:

	     never	    No check is performed.

	     always	    Passing the vulnerability check is required.  A
			    missing pkg-vulnerabilities file is considered an
			    error.

	     interactive    The user is always asked to confirm installation
			    of vulnerable packages.

     CONFIG_CACHE_CONNECTIONS
	     Limit the global connection cache to this value.  For FTP this is
	     the number of sessions without active command.  For HTTP this is
	     the number of connections open with keep-alive.

     CONFIG_CACHE_CONNECTIONS_HOST
	     Like CONFIG_CACHE_CONNECTIONS, but limit the number of connec‐
	     tions to the host as well.	 See fetch(3) for further details

     DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES
	     Space-separated list of common Free and Open Source licenses
	     packages are allowed to carry.  The default value contains all
	     OSI approved licenses in pkgsrc on the date pkg_install was
	     released.	License names are case-sensitive.

     GPG     Path to gpg(1), which can be used to verify the signature in the
	     pkg-vulnerabilities file when running
		   pkg_admin check-pkg-vulnerabilities -s
	     or
		   pkg_admin fetch-pkg-vulnerabilities -s
	     It can also be used to verify and sign binary packages.

     GPG_KEYRING_PKGVULN
	     Non-default keyring to use for verifying GPG signatures of
	     pkg-vulnerabilities.

     GPG_KEYRING_SIGN
	     Non-default keyring to use for signing packages with GPG.

     GPG_KEYRING_VERIFY
	     Non-default keyring to use for verifying GPG signature of pack‐
	     ages.

     GPG_SIGN_AS
	     User-id to use for signing packages.

     IGNORE_PROXY
	     Use direct connections and ignore FTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY.

     IGNORE_URL
	     One line per advisory which should be ignored when running
		   pkg_admin audit
	     The URL from the pkg-vulnerabilities file should be used as
	     value.

     PKG_DBDIR (*)
	     Location of the packages database.	 This option is always overri‐
	     den by the argument of the -K option.

     PKG_PATH (*)
	     Search path for packages.	The entries are separated by semi‐
	     colon.  Each entry specifies a directory or URL to search for
	     packages.

     PKG_REFCOUNT_DBDIR (*)
	     Location of the package reference counts database directory.  The
	     default value is ${PKG_DBDIR}.refcount.

     PKGVULNDIR
	     Directory name in which the pkg-vulnerabilities file resides.
	     Default is ${PKG_DBDIR}.

     PKGVULNURL
	     URL which is used for updating the local pkg-vulnerabilities file
	     when running
		   pkg_admin fetch-pkg-vulnerabilities
	     The default location is ftp.NetBSD.org using HTTP.	 Note: Usu‐
	     ally, only the compression type should be changed.	 Currently
	     supported are uncompressed files and files compressed by bzip2(1)
	     (.bz2) or gzip(1) (.gz).

     VERBOSE_NETIO
	     Log details of network IO to stderr.

     VERIFIED_INSTALLATION
	     Set trust level used when installation.  Supported values are:

	     never	    No signature checks are performed.

	     always	    A valid signature is required.  If the binary
			    package can not be verified, the installation is
			    terminated

	     trusted	    A valid signature is required.  If the binary
			    package can not be verified, the user is asked
			    interactively.

	     interactive    The user is always asked interactively when
			    installing a package.
