However, it doesn't mention that there are currently no available FreeBSD.org repositories for pkgng, regardless of branch. Even the 3rd party repositories, such as PCBSD's, are limited--for example, PCBSD's repository is only for amd64. >How-To-Repeat: Follow Handbook's instructions for installing pkgng. Then attempt to use it to install something. >Fix: Perhaps, until this rectified, an entry in the pkgng section of the Handbook, informing the reader that despite improvements to the older programs, there are currently no official FreeBSD repositories of pkgng packages, and that if the user wishes to use pkgng, they can use PCBSD's or exonetric's, at their own risk. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
