Not because I don't = have the interest or time, but because I simply cannot update any port. = The old port system may have had issues, but it worked!!! The new one = does not. I am completely unable to upgrade or install any ports on a = 9.1 or higher system. I have a number of those in production and will = have to now resort to obtaining ports from the original sources and = making them work on my systems. Its a colossal pain in the *&^*&^. I tried portmaster qpopper to get the latest source. That failed with = lots of errors in other ports. Too many to try to do individually. I = then used pkg_delete to delete all ports. Repeated portmaster qpopper. = Portmaster no longer exists. Tried pkg_add -r portmaster. Message to = setsomething in /etc/make.conf. Did that and then tried to run pkg2ng = as it requested. pkg2ng does not exist. Its not a port either. Dead = end. Went to /usr/ports/port-mgmt/portmaster and did a make. Get = errors that file names are misspelled. Perhaps the new port system can be used by those who spend their day = using it, but for those of us who have real work to do and only use it = when needed, its just not viable.=
