You need to patch portmaster separately from installing pkgng. Once that is done, it doesn't complain about missing stuff in /var/db/pkg Note: use the latest version of the patch from git in preference to what is included in pkgng distfiles: the patch gets updated following portmaster's release schedule, not pkgng's.

Correct. > Well, I thought I read in here that pkg has now a much more > sophisticated tracking of dependencies - usage of SQLite implies, that > there is now a great opportunity of doing well in tracking problems and= > versioning (I might be wrong). Again, correct. pkgng replaces grepping through a lot of files under /var/db/pkg with doing some fairly simple SQL queries, and is in general a much faster at that sort of thing. > I tried to follow the chat on the list about pkgng, but for the rush I > didn't figured out whether portmaster is considered obsolete - I saw > patches for portupgrade flushing in, so my logic has been falsified by > that implicitely ... portmaster is definitely not obsolete. pkgng doesn't /do/ ports at all, only packages.
