I use the default FreeBSD pkg repository with my desktop system, the audio/lame package is totally absent from there and the multimedia/ffmpeg package is missing MP3 encoding capability. I'll have to build them from ports enabling MP3 encoding, which I'm doing now. BTW how do you manage such a situation when all of your packages are from a remote repository and a couple of others you have to build from ports locally (or install from another repository)? -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN AS43859
