Hello, I have a few questions. 2013/10/31 Bryan Drewery <bdrewery@freebsd.org>: > The pkg_install suite of tools pkg_create(1), pkg_add(1), and > pkg_info(1) (which ports also use), are deprecated and will be > discontinued in roughly 6 months. A communication regarding the > deprecation of the pkg_install suite of tools will be sent separately in > the future. 1. Will this change touch already released FreeBSD versions, especially like 9? Or one can use pkg_* as long as staying on 9.x? 2. What is a correct way for a freshly-built system (and which one will work :) 2.a. Set WITHOUT_PKGTOOLS=. buildworld, installworld, install ports-mgmt/pkg, profit. 2.b. buildworld, installworld, set WITHOUT_PKGTOOLS, delete-old, install ports-mgmt/pkg, profit. 3. As I can see, head/ now contains bootstrap for pkg. Will be ports-mgmt/pkg ever merged to head/ and then MFC'd to stable/10? To stable/9? Or pkg will remain in ports for many years like portmaster/portupgrade? 4. Can I use sqlite from ports instead of bundled one with pkg or this not expected?
