Hello.

Why make packages in tbz2 when pkg_add doesn't understand it, and why not make
the -r feature take packages from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/*/*
instead of ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/?

Will 5.0's ports/package management system prove to rock better?

Thanks.
