pkg repo can't create a catalogue for tgz,/bzip2-format packages since pkg 1.3.x

[nobwak]

$ pkg create -o ./ -f tgz pkg-1.3.6
Creating package for pkg-1.3.6
$ ls
pkg-1.3.6.tgz
$ pkg repo .
pkg: No package files have been found
Cannot create repository catalogue

What you need to do, for now, is create your own meta file with tgz as the packing_format:

meta

version = 1;
packing_format = "tgz";
digest_format = "sha256_base32";
digests = "digests";
manifests = "packagesite.yaml";
filesite = "filesite.yaml";
digests_archive = "digests";
manifests_archive = "packagesite";
filesite_archive = "filesite";

Then use it: pkg repo -m meta ...

thank you so much. It works.
