      I'm using pfSense 21.05-1, and want to install git.
      In the past, I did it by running pkg install git, but now I get this error:

      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      pfSense-core repository is up to date.
      Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
      pfSense repository is up to date.
      All repositories are up to date.
      pkg: No packages available to install matching 'git' have been found in the repositories
      

      Any idea of what might have changed?

        We'll check into that. It should be there, but perhaps it was being built as a dependency of something else and now needs to be built explicitly. I see it on CE 2.5.2 and 2.6.0 snapshots, and Plus 22.01 snapshots, but not Plus 21.05.2.

          We've added it back in on that branch so it should show up in the package repository soon. As I thought, it used to be built as a dependency of something else, but that changed so now we have to include it manually.
