Hi, I don't know if this came up already, but not as far as I know. So, I was thinking it would be nice to add a mechanism to pkgng, which enables the user to get the ports tree corresponding to the current repository. At least I've the problem that I really like the idea of the pkgng system, but I need a few custom build packages. For instance rawtherapee is not working for me with OpenMP, so I have to disable it to get it working, or I made some patches for openbox, which of course then needs to be compiled. In order to get not in conflict with a more recent ports tree the exact version of the repository build would be nice. At the moment I can think of two ways to implement it. The easiest way would be to add the ports tree as a packages into the repository. A more complicated thing is to add a mechanism to portsnap synchronised with the pkgng system to direct fetch it, or at least a revision number of the current repo, so you can check it out of the subversion. How do you guys feel about this? Greetings Michael
