Brad, I use BSD 10, and pkg works great with it. I still have a couple of applications that don't work with 9.x or 10.x, so this box remains. Second to that, the documention I checked still implies pkg should be useable on BSD 8 and even 7 https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pkgng-intro.html https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng/CharterAndRoadMap#Road_Map But aside from that, I can't even use /usr/ports on the latest portsnap fetch because of pkgng not being up to date ? That alone, I don't understand. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Davis" <brd@FreeBSD.org> To: "Sin" <sinister@gmail.com> Cc: <freebsd-pkg@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2016 11:18 AM Subject: Re: pkg fails to compile > On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 10:11:58AM -0400, Sin wrote: >> Hi everyone, >> >> >> I've got FreeBSD 8 stable ( R299674 ) and portsnap fetch applied as new >> as a few minutes ago.
