But what I can do with pkgng now? For example, Gentoo linux > has /etc/portage/profile/package.provided file for such a situation. Is > there some equivalent? The request is a bit vague: Do you need a specific version which were in the ports in the past? Than you can use a svn/git portstree version, check out the old version and install it from the ports like always. Do you need a specific version which was never in the ports? Than you could write a simple port for this version. (Which is always an option) If you want to register a port build from source, but not from portstree have a look at pkg-register or: $ pkg help register I have no experience with it, but this just seems to fit your request.
