Ravenports package repositories
This is an alternative package repository server for the rvn package manager. You may want to use instead of the official repository if:
- you're looking for more frequently rolled package sets (i. e. often more recent package versions)
- you'd like to use a European mirror (Germany)
- you trust packages built by someone you probably don't know
Platforms
FreeBSD 15.x, MidnightBSD 3.x
Using the repositories
Just edit the package manager's repository configuration, /raven/etc/rvn/repos/raven.conf, and change the value of enabled to false.
Then create a new file, /raven/etc/rvn/repos/absd.conf and paste the following snippet into it:
AdvanceBSD: {
url : http://repo.advancebsd.net/${ABI},
enabled : true
master : true
priority : 10
}
Troubleshooting
If you get the error Failed to obtain reference checksum from the Raven repository from rvn when you try to fetch the catalog, run rvn -vv | grep ABI.
Chances are that ${ABI} doesn't resolve to what you think. In that case you need to edit /raven/etc/rvn.conf.
