As to the old libpkg, it only existed for little over a year and only in HEAD and was even removed from there over a year ago, and the commit message clearly states that it should not be used. OTOH, for those using it, the only alternative for them is probably pkgng which is only now turning stable. Erwin -- Erwin Lansing http://droso.dk erwin@FreeBSD.org http:// www.FreeBSD.org
