Ports and packages are NOT the same thing. Ports are compiled from source. Packages are precompiled. Pkgng is for packages. not ports. Once the port is compiled, the ports system uses whatever pkg manager you've chosen, to install it. However, portmaster doesn't -just- use the ports system. It also tries to pre-determine the dependencies, which is why it needs be pkgng-aware. Chuck
