"While ports-mgmt/portmaster and ports-mgmt/portupgrade can install third-party software from both binary packages and the Ports Collection, pkgng installs only binary packages." This could be rewritten to: "While ports-mgmt/portmaster and ports-mgmt/portupgrade can install third-party software from both binary packages and the Ports Collection, pkgng only deals with installing and registering of binary packages into the system. Software installed from the Ports Collection are registered into the system as pkgng packages that can be updated by using binary packages or the Ports Collection". >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
