==== Unofficial Repositories ====

[[/MarkLinimon|MarkLinimon]] sometimes builds and uploads packages for various tier-2 architectures, as a debug aid.  There is no guarantee as to their reliability or worthiness.  Packages are built 'best-effort'.

:!: These packages are **not guaranteed** to be secure or working.  They 'work for me'.  However, they may introduce security holes or panic your system.
They are intended for //testing only//.

=== Unofficial repo: Configuration ===

To use this repo, create the following file as **/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/lonesome.com.conf**:

<code>
lonesome.com: {
  url: "http://lonesome.com/FreeBSD/${ABI}/<which>",
  mirror_type: "http",
  signature_type: "none",
  enabled: yes
}
</code>

and substitute either **quarterly** or **latest** for **%%<%%which>**.

Also, optionally, you can turn off the default repo search to quiet some error messages.
To do so, create the following override file as **/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/%%FreeBSD%%.conf**:

:!: Only do this on your tier-2 machines!

<code>
FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: no
}
</code>

A final note: neither repository contains the whole ports tree.  For instance, I do not often build the scientific and language-specific categories, nor am I building games at all.  Also, I have put various ports that failed to build on previous runs into one of the various [[http://www.lonesome.com/FreeBSD/poudriere/blacklists/|blacklist]] files.  Please contact [[/MarkLinimon|MarkLinimon]] if you have specific needs.

=== unofficial repo: bootstrapping ===

Per [[/PkgPrimer]], you **may** need to install **pkg** itself to bootstrap if the system is not able to do it automatically.  For example:

<code>
fetch http://lonesome.com/FreeBSD/FreeBSD:13:aarch64/latest/Latest/pkg.txz
tar xf ./pkg.txz -s ",/.*/,,g" "*/pkg-static"
./pkg-static add ./pkg.txz
</code>

For riscv64, s/aarch/riscv/ .
