Hello, I just tried 11-beta2 – as usual, many thanks for all your hard work, Devs and REs! I'm very concerned that there's still just a bootstrap-pkg :-( Most of the machines I'm responsible for don't have internet access – and won't ever have. Currently, I don't have a 11-machine for building pkg(8) handy. How Do I get pkg(8) the official way (for machines without internet access)? Are there official ftp servers available for manual downloading (I know of pkgs SRV lookup method, but since I need to 'scp' packages from arbitrary internet-connected clients, I can't utilize pkg(8) especially in a situation like now, where I have not a single compatible alternative client/host). pkg(8) has biten my some dozend times since stable/10 due to it's ring dependency :-( :-( :-( Please, don't ship FreeBSD 11 without a full version of pkg(8) in the base! Thanks, -Harry
