[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi all, The ports tree has been modified to only support pkg(8) as package management system for all supported version of FreeBSD. if you were still using pkg_install (pkg_* tools) you will have to upgrade your system. The simplest way is cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg make install then run pkg2ng You will have lots of warning, don't be scared, they are expected, pkg_* databases used to get easily mangled. pkg2ng is most of the time able to deal with it. If however you encounter a problem then please report to pkg@FreeBSD.org A tag has been applied to the ports tree if you need to get the latest ports tree before the EOL of pkg_install: https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/tags/PKG_INSTALL_EOL A branch has been created if some committers want to provides updates on the for pkg_install users: https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/branches/pkg_install Please note that this branch is not officially maintained and that we strongly recommend that you do migrate to pkg(8) Best regards, Bapt on behalf of portmgr [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlQEzygACgkQ8kTtMUmk6Ez62ACeKBwgmchm6kJ2rVnYukF+PVH4 0WgAnRVv9QdxS/27NEU+WJBpNg96Zf6u =gM2v -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
