Unfortunately, I've never experimented with pkgng, so will have to come up to speed on this. Might be a temporary workaround. In the meantime, I'm trying to install Apache 2.2 on a small server. So far, just to build the port, the machine has built Perl, Python, m4, Berkeley DB, and an incredible assortment of other stuff that I do not want or need on that machine! And because the "make distclean" command in the FreeBSD ports system does not remove code for dependencies, I'll have tons of source -- including GPLed code, which I do not want to touch -- on the machine unless I do a painstaking manual search and removal. Aaargh! --Brett Glass At 12:03 PM 4/10/2013, pete wright wrote: >can't answer for the freebsd project - but the folks at pc-bsd have >made a 9.1 pkgng repository available: > >http://blog.pcbsd.org/2013/04/pc-bsd-announces-package-repository-for-pc-bsd-and-freebsd-9-1-release/ > >there is also an east coast mirror hosted by NycBUG/NYI: > >http://lists.nycbug.org/pipermail/talk/2013-March/014741.html > >-pete
