Important Change Required for Haiku Nightly and R1/Beta2 Users

Nightly and Beta2 users will need to “re-add” their release repositories to update to newer versions of Haiku and beyond. This change is part of a long-term improvement of our Haiku/HaikuPorts repository identifiers.

These commands need to be run in the terminal.

Check your current repositories:

pkgman list-repo

Nightly Users

Nightly users will need to “re-add” both their Haiku and HaikuPorts release repositories to be able to update to hrev55184 and beyond.

Re-add HaikuPorts repository

pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/$(getarch)/current

Re-add Haiku repository

pkgman drop-repo Haiku
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/master/$(getarch)/current

R1/Beta2 users

Beta2 users will need to “re-add” their HaikuPorts release repository to be able to continue installing and updating apps from HaikuPorts.

Re-add HaikuPorts repository

pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/$(getarch)/current

Summary

The “identifier” will change from https://hpkg.... to tag:haiku.... for both Haiku, and HaikuPorts on nightly installs (this identifier will only change for HaikuPorts on R1/Beta2 installs). Once you see the new identifiers, you have been successfully changed over to the new repository ID.
