IME mixed repos hurts, I find careful use of ports works quite well for a small number of specials. Careful in this case means using make missing to find and install dependencies from packages rather than ports, using pkg lock to prevent pkg from messing with the ports based ones, being prepared to check and possibly rebuild the port after a pkg upgrade and of course updating the ports tree from time to time and updating it (not forgetting to recheck make missing). That reads like more hassle than it really is. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
