There is pkg2ng tool. I think reverse tool could be useful for such scenario: 1. System packages managed by pkgng 2. pkgng2pkg creates /var/db/pkg structure, for read-only tasks 3. Any soft relying on get info from /var/db/pkg still works (partially, because of RO). And then one could learn new CLI keys/output format to modify scripts, while old could still somehow be not very broken. -- Regards, Alexander Yerenkow
