Thanks! > Since no one asked: Why would you want to do it this way? If you are using pkgng updating is as easy as: pkg upgrade. If you have some programs installed not available from official pkgng repositories you are on "thin ice" and should consider using something like ports-mgmt/poudriere to build pkgng packages of those ports and host your own repo from which you can then install them. As others already said: pkgng is drastically different from previous package management, so they do should not be used in parallel. Best regards Andreas
