Patch: describe how to change quarterly to latest #1821
Conversation
Patch for pkg.conf.5 that describes how to change quarterly to latest I was looking for information about "quarterly" vs "latest" and found the documentation lacking this part. The information belongs in the man page for pkg.conf as it contains all the relevant other information, with the only exception in the details for "quarterly" and "latest".

What's wrong with this? |

Sorry it took time. I am puzzled about this one as usual in such cases, pkg is not FreeBSD specific and this rule the quarterly vs latest branching thing is a FreeBSD only concept. I don't know if it should be documented or not directly in pkg. I see the point in documenting it better anyway and why one would want to document it withing the pkg manpages. |

(sorry for the delay to respond here) |

No problem, better late than never :) What do you mean by pkg not being FreeBSD specific? |
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg#readme describes Known to fully work … and Known to work … use cases, not limited to FreeBSD.
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/QuarterlyBranch is recently revised, if that helps. |
