Sometimes i need to build specific version of some library from source, not from ports. How can I tell port system about it. There was no problem with old pkg_, because I was able just to put dummy directory into /var/db/pkg and port system knows it is installed (although maybe that was ugly hack). But what I can do with pkgng now? For example, Gentoo linux has /etc/portage/profile/package.provided file for such a situation. Is there some equivalent?
