Hello. I'm looking into switching to using pkgng once FreeBSD 10 is released. I must say that I'm very impressed so far after playing around with it, but I have run into a question that I have been unable to find the answer to. Is it possible to use pkg install from pkg.FreeBSD.org for most packages, use portmaster locally for some packages when I want to use custom build options and have it all work well together? A typical scenario that I want to avoid is that I have a custom built installation of port A. Then one day the package is updated to a new version on pkg.FreeBSD.org, which overwrites my local install when I run pkg upgrade. I have searched for this and found lots of information but no clear answer. John
