pkg repo not creating repo.txz on 8.4-STABLE

[Fleuriot Damien]

Hello list,



I've got this tiny problem where issuing `pkg repo /tmp/repo/All` won't yield a repo.txz file, anywhere at all.

/tmp/repo/All contains a single, very small python package (this is a real, valid port), on purpose to minimize the size of ktrace dumps.


# pkg version
root at bsd8:/ # pkg -v
1.2.1

# Contents of /tmp/repo/All/
root at bsd8:/ # ls -l /tmp/repo/All/

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2312 Dec  4 15:57 python2-2_1.txz

# Command used to create the repo

# Resulting files , note that digests and packagesite were generated successfully

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2312 Dec  4 15:57 python2-2_1.txz



I've tried gleaning info from both truss and ktrace, with the following results from kdump:

# Actual ktrace
ktrace pkg repo -q /tmp/repo/All/

# grep repo.txz during kdump
root at bsd8:/ # kdump | grep -C 8 repo.txz

  2254 initial thread CALL  sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK,0x802004298,0)


Meh, what gives, no such file ?




Out of curiosity and to prove I'm not trying to get anyone else to do my homework, I've taken the liberty of grabbing an earlier version of `pkg`  at:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/bapt/pkg-1.0-rc6.tar.xz

Building and using pkg-static from these sources does yield the correct repo file :

root at bsd8:/tmp/pkg/pkg-1.0-rc6/pkg-static # ./pkg-static repo /tmp/repo/
Generating repo.sqlite in /tmp/repo/: done!
root at bsd8:/tmp/pkg/pkg-1.0-rc6/pkg-static # ls -l /tmp/repo/
total 8
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2316 Dec  4 16:52 python-2.7_1,2.txz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1636 Dec  4 16:59 repo.txz




I'm going to look up other versions of pkg and try to narrow down the one that borks things up for me.
