Yep, I spotted that as well while looking over the first patch I submitted = and it is now fixed in https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/commit/27b286a64cab91d3eff0e5fb6358f278ab563= a30. Note that this is incorrect for FreeBSD 13 -- the default is still txz ther= e, set at configure time for pkg itself. But at least pkg's own default is now correctly stated. > Also, I don't think the "in the near future" deprecation notice in the ha= ndbook is > reasonable.

Fair comment; I'm trying to strike a balance between "don't surprise the us= ers" and "make the user community aware that developers already think this was deprecated years ago." I originally went with just "removed in the future" = but added "near" based on a comment in the review. In any case I think the discussion that may be prompted by the more alarming notice is worthwhile, and we can change the notice to match whatever is eventually decided. > I suggest two things: > > 1) Adding DEPRECATED=3D and EXPIRATION_DATE=3D to the port Makefile (the = date should be > at FreeBSD 14 EOL, IMHO). This seems reasonable to me, but we should also stop packaging it for 15.x = now. > 2) Adding a section in the Handbook on "Migrating from portupgrade to por= tmaster" A good idea; someone who is familiar with both tools will need to write it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
