I guess here: TZAV> cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf # System-wide configuration file for pkg(1) # For more information on the file format and # options please refer to the pkg.conf(5) man page # Configuration options PACKAGESITE : ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/pkgng PKG_DBDIR : /var/db/pkg PKG_CACHEDIR : /var/cache/pkg PORTSDIR : /usr/ports PUBKEY : /etc/ssl/pkg.conf HANDLE_RC_SCRIPTS : NO PKG_MULTIREPOS : NO ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES : NO SYSLOG : YES SHLIBS : NO AUTODEPS : NO # Repository definitions repos: default : http://example.org/pkgng/ repo1 : http://somewhere.org/pkgng/repo1/ repo2 : http://somewhere.org/pkgng/repo2/ TZAV> It won't work, the UPDATING entry concerning pkgng is only for people being= in binary only mode. Which doesn't seems to be your case. It also concerns peo= ple building there own repository using poudriere/tinderbox no, I don't use any of this. Should I? I didn't think it was a requirement for using pkgng. Don't know what you are using, but you should imho run portmaster or portup= grade to rebuild everything that depends on perl (sorry I don't remember the exact syntax). sure, I can do this manually, but... That said perl-after-update to be anyway be worked on so that it supports natively pkgng, but given perl-after-upgrade is a hack (ugly in my views :)) don't know how complicated or easy it is to port it. So if I want to stick to the new pkg tools, and I don't want to use perl-after-upgrade (which as you say, doesn't work with pkgng yet anyway), what should I do? Thanks Anton
