Since many years I have always compiled "my" (i.e. the ports I need) from CVS or now SVN ports tree on some fast baquery maschine. After compiling I just did something like: # mkdir PKG # cd PKG # pkg_create -Rnb `cd /var/db/pkg ; ls -C1` and moved the resulting ~1500 packages to my laptops or smaller netbooks. Until today I'm still using the old pkg_info/_add/_create tools and skipped pkgng until today. Will the above procedure work fine too in the future? Why not keep the old methods unchanged in place as today?
