Issue with pkgsrc on armv7hf (Odroid-XU4)

freezr

Hi There,
I am Freezr master of Pebcak, I love to use computers despite all my limitations.
Today I was trying to make NetBSD working on my Odroid-XU4 and I am actually there thus I tried to follow the wiki launching these commands:

# PKG_PATH="http://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -p)/$(uname -r|cut -f '1 2' -d.)/All/"
# export PKG_PATH
# pkg_add pkgin

But I got this instead:

armv7# PKG_PATH="http://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -p)/$(uname -r|cut -f '1 2' -d.)/All/"
armv7# export PKG_PATH
armv7# pkg_add pkgin
pkg_add: Can't process http://cdn.NetBSD.org:80/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/earmv7hf/9.3_STABLE/All//pkgin*: Not Found
pkg_add: no pkg found for 'pkgin', sorry.
pkg_add: 1 package addition failed

If even copy & paste doesn't work I am already doomed... 😭

Any suggestions? I'd like to see if I can establish a VNC connection toward the UX4, thanks! 🙏

I realized this command was pointing to a wrong path so I searched for the package server and I found the right rout, but I continue to get some warning though:

armv7# PKG_PATH="https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/earmv7hf/9.3/All/"
armv7# export PKG_PATH
armv7# pkg_add pkgin
pkg_add: Warning: package `pkgin-21.12.0nb2' was built for a platform:
pkg_add: NetBSD/earmv7hf 9.0 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/earmv7hf 9.3_STABLE (this host)
pkgin-21.12.0nb2: copying /usr/pkg/share/examples/pkgin/repositories.conf.example to /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf

freezr 9.3 is binary compatible with 9.0 and is no issue. You can silence the warning if you want.

@freezr If you want to silence the warning create the file /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_install.conf with the following content:

CHECK_OSABI=no
CHECK_OS_VERSION=no
