Will the initial release of the pkg > packages be on the release dvd set? I'm not sure what the intentions are towards archiving old sets of packages / repository images once the OS versions concerned have gone out of support. Try asking on freebsd-ports@..., or if that fails to elicit a satisfactory response try asking portmgr@... I do know that the last sets of old-style packages are being preserved on the FTP servers for longer than they otherwise might be in order to smooth over the transition to pkg(8) for later adopters. pkg_tools are not officially dead and buried until September. DVD sets will contain a limited selection of some of the more popular packages -- basically the same sort of provision as was made with the old-style packages. There's simply not enough room on any feasible installation media to provide a complete set of packages though. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
