Adding Multiple Repositories to GhostBSD-Arm64 install to Raspberry Pi 4

Adding Multiple Repositories to GhostBSD-Arm64 install to Raspberry Pi 4


For Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B, 400 I have GhostBSD-Arm64 running from this image in this directory http://76.14.239.229/packages/
 
http://ghostbsdarm64.hopto.org/packages/Ghost14_selfbuilt_raspi4b_Dec12_3.img.xz December 12, 2023  image to 'dd' write into a USB flash drive and insert into a blue USB 3.0 connector on the Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B, 400

I installed multiple repositories, so I did NOT have to Poudriere Build 30,000 pkgs.  Just build the pkgs for installing XFCE Desktop Environment.  I want pkgs Abiword, Dia, xfce-screenshooter also to use for my minimal desktop.  I had issues with compiling Firefox browser, So I thought I might use the Firefox-ESR that FreeBSD built.  PersonalBSD  has several packages built in the last few days of November, December 2023.  Ok, Yes, multiple repositories might create some problems.  We can deal with that issue when it arises.  I am using Otter-Browser as my first web browser on this GhostBSD-ARM64 operating system.  Otter-Browser installed fine.  Then I had some issue with "first run" setup for a display.  Will trouble shoot that in the next few days.
Here are the pkg repository configuration files that I use:
pkg -N
pkg search - | wc
cp -p GhostBSD(5).conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/GhostBSD.conf
pkg -d update
pkg search - | wc
cp -p PersonalBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/PersonalBSD.conf
pkg -d update
pkg search - | wc
cp -p FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
pkg -d update
pkg search - | wc
pkg install xorg xfce xfce4-goodies lightdm otter-browser
pkg install abiword dia xfce-screenshooter


# you should now have access to the GhostBSD pkgs, PersonalBSD pkgs, and FreeBSD pkgs in that order.   Over 30,000 pkgs to download and install to your FreeBSD.   For purists, just use only the recommended and supported single FreeBSD.conf file. or single GhostBSD.conf file. 
Look at these repositories! You get the GhostBSD pkgs, the freshly compiled PersonalBSD pkgs, and the existing FreeBSD pkgs for all others. FreeBSD source code and software engineering is the greatest, superbly engineered Operating System!!

Abiword, Dia diagram editor, xfce-screenshooter are the minimum tools for creating HowTo Documents (pdf portable document file output from "print to file" command inside Abiword)  that use SVG or PNG diagrams and  region screen shots.
