The pkg_ suite suits our needs and will be retained until retired. To reduce package sizes, we remove content that isn't required, such as: doc, include files, examples, content of share etc. But this requires effort to get right and may not suit your needs. Portmaster maintains the ports collection. Regards, Dewayne.
