Hi, I'm just writing to let anyone know, who might find it useful, that we=20= have set-up an unofficial but public pkgng repository available at http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng until official pkgng format packages are available. With the able assistance of Gavin Atkinson, who managed all the package building for us, we currently have pkgng format packages for FreeBSD-8 and FreeBSD-9, for both i386 and amd64 kernels. These packages have no particular blessing from the FreeBSD project, but as far as we know, they don't mind either. To use these packages, just set your PACKAGESITE variable in = /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf like so,=20 PACKAGESITE : = http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng/${ABI}/latest Gavin is also working on a FreeBSD-10 set of packages, but those are a few days or so away at this point. Please let us know about any issues you find as well, of course. Cheers, Mark Blackman=20
