Can one have multiple packagesite state= ments in pkg.conf? I see the repositories don't have the latest versions, so portupgrade or por= tmaster would be needed to upgrade to the latest versions from ports? If so= , can one mix and match pkg and portupgrade or portmaster or is that asking f= or trouble? i.e. use pkg to install packages and portupgrade or portmaster t= o upgrade packages. Stan
