Given this is a pkg(8) error, I brought it up on ports@
but it was suggested I (also?) bring it up here on stable@

OK awhile back I installed a copy of 12 stable from the
usb stick image. I tweaked it to my wishes then got called
away and haven't been able to get back to it until the other
day. This is still a fresh install which has a populated /usr/src.
So I
svnlite co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports
followed by a
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg/ && make install clean
which returns
make
/!\ ERROR: /!\

Ports Collection support for your FreeBSD version has ended, and no ports are

*** Error code 1

Stop.
Err what? Ok while I think this was from stable 12.1, it's still still 12,
and it's on stable. So what gives?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
