Right now builds are only being done for a few hand-selected ports, and only on arm-9 with pkgng. No builds with the old pkg_* tools are intended at this time. For those of you with Arm systems, you should be able to install packages just by setting USE_PKGNG="yes" in /etc/make.conf and then using pkg(8). There are more details at http://wiki.freebsd.org/PackagesOnArm . Please let me know if how these packages work out for you. Thanks. mcl
