pkg_install.conf — configuration file for package installation tools

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:

Space-separated list of licenses packages are allowed to carry. License names are case-sensitive.
Force the use of active FTP.
Cache directory listings in memory. This avoids retransfers of the large directory index for HTTP and is enabled by default.
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 certificates must be PEM-encoded.
Analogous to CERTIFICATE_ANCHOR_PKGS. The pkg-vulnerabilities is trusted when a certificate chain ends in one of the certificates contained in this file.
Path to a file containing additional certificates that can be used for completing certificate chains when validating binary packages or pkg-vulnerabilities files.
Check the license conditions of packages before installing them. Supported values are:
The check is not performed.
The check is performed if the package has license conditions set.
Passing the license check is required. Missing license conditions are considered an error.
During vulnerability checks, consider packages that have reached end-of-life as vulnerable. This option is enabled by default.
If "no", pkg_add will not warn if the host OS version does not exactly match the OS version the package was built on. The default is "yes".
If "no", osabi package does not check OS version. The default is "yes".
Check for vulnerabilities when installing packages. Supported values are:
No check is performed.
Passing the vulnerability check is required. A missing pkg-vulnerabilities file is considered an error.
The user is always asked to confirm installation of vulnerable packages.
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.
Like CONFIG_CACHE_CONNECTIONS, but limit the number of connections to the host as well. See fetch(3) for further details
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.
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.
Non-default keyring to use for verifying GPG signatures of pkg-vulnerabilities.
Non-default keyring to use for signing packages with GPG.
Non-default keyring to use for verifying GPG signature of packages.
User-id to use for signing packages.
Use direct connections and ignore FTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY.
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.
Location of the packages database. This option is always overriden by the argument of the -K option.
Search path for packages. The entries are separated by semicolon. Each entry specifies a directory or URL to search for packages.
Location of the package reference counts database directory. The default value is ${PKG_DBDIR}.refcount.
Directory name in which the pkg-vulnerabilities file resides. Default is ${PKG_DBDIR}.
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. : Usually, only the compression type should be changed. Currently supported are uncompressed files and files compressed by bzip2(1) (.bz2) or gzip(1) (.gz).
Log details of network IO to stderr.
Set trust level used when installation. Supported values are:
No signature checks are performed.
A valid signature is required. If the binary package can not be verified, the installation is terminated
A valid signature is required. If the binary package can not be verified, the user is asked interactively.
The user is always asked interactively when installing a package.

/etc/pkg_install.conf
