We are using them directly because ports were = more problematic. We use various PHP packages from ports for a larger project without any issues or having to deal with custom options. It has also gotten a lot better in the last two years from a ports framework perspective. Yes, some things get messy when you go against the framework, but that only leaves the option to make the framework more flexible or deal with the custom build by building another framework. If there is an incompatibility between the two approaches I don't see how e.g. your issues will be resolved by changing the ports framework. If there aren't any incompatibilities it's just work to get it done. :) > pkg is too interactive anyway (compared to any older method) so I = don't think this will be a problem. I think it will be useful to do this = on install phase instead of package building phase. pkg scripts really well compared to e.g. OpenBSD's pkg_add, which at least for 5.9 cannot non-interactively select ambiguous flavors. You can see the latter was designed and nurtured from a user's point of view, but deploying jails or custom images with packages is way easier with FreeBSD's pkg. It's not perfect either, but it's in better shape than you might believe. Cheers, Franco=
