access to FreeBSD package problem

[Alpaslan KOCABAŞ]

Dear concerned,

When I try to access to FreeBSD package  (pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/ ), I'm getting a '403 Forbidden' warning

How can I access to FreeBSD package  (pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/ )

I would be glad if you help

Directly listing is disabled because it contains >32,000 pkgs. Such a
large listing produces significant load and that function isn't needed
for the repo to work. Use pkg search/fetch to access it instead.

Оk. I understood. Thanks for the clarification.

I also understand those who would like to be able to browse through packages looking for interesting things to try.

I'm testing patches for bsdconfig(8) that make it work once again on pkg.freebsd.org, as well as with the packages on distribution DVDs starting with 12.4-RELEASE. These should work with 13.1 as well.

If anyone is interested to help with testing and/or documenting these, please contact me off-list.

Here, painfully stripped of the mess that vt(4) makes of cut n pasting from dialog(1) screens, is last night's test, jusf before adding 1 package.

cheers, Ian

There is the following website about FeeBSD packages :

and other attached pages .

From the above website , it is possible to learn information about FreeBSD related software as possible .

An alternative might be:

$ curl -L https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/packagesite.pkg | \
xz -dc | tar -xf - packagesite.yaml

$ jq -r '.path' < packagesite.yaml | sort | head -3
All/0ad-0.0.26_5.pkg
All/0verkill-0.16_2.pkg
All/1password-client-1.12.4.pkg
