OK On a virgin 12 stable install. Followed by a
svnlite co svn://svn.freebsd.org/portd/head /usr/ports
and a /usr/src already populated.
A trip to /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
followed by make install clean
returned:
/!\ ERROR: /!\

Ports Collection support for your FreeBSD version has ended, and no ports are
guaranteed to build on this system. Please upgrade to a supported release.

No support will be provided if you silence this message by defining
ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM.

*** Error code 1

Stop.
While I could follow pkg's suggested alternative. This all just seems
very wrong.
Is there any way to disable pkg completely. So I can simply build
ports, rather than packages? maybe a
WITH_PKG=false
USE_PKG=false
or something else?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
