Subject:   getting packages for ports when installing or upgrading

Hi,

when staging was introduced packages of the ports I built were automagically
generated in /usr/ports/packages. I used 'portupgrade -p' before to get that
functionality so that change was very convenient for me. Got hit by ports/184672
though. But that wasn't a problem because the '-p' option to portupgrade wasn't
needed anymore.

Now I migrated to pkgng and after the change the automatic package generation
stopped. Falling back to 'portupgrade -p' isn't an option cause ports/184672
stil isn't solved.

So a couple of questions:
1. Was the autmotic package building when installing or upgrading after staging
was introduced not intentional? Or why did that behaviour changed again?
2. So how can I get automatically packages from the ports I install or upgrade?
Having to manually execute "make package" every time would be a pita.

regards,
Hilko
