It works quite well if you sync your ports tree against the version used fo= r the current pkg repository. I have a couple of packages which I build from ports because I need differe= nt options for one of them and the licensing prevents the distribution of a= binary for the other. I have no problems building and installing them when= I sync the ports tree against the pkg repository. To sync my ports tree I use a modified copy of https://gist.github.com/reed= acartwright/8622973baf89b263a6d7 . Unfortunately the script at github hasn'= t been updated since 2015 so doesn't have details of package servers for F= reeBSD versions later than 10.x but is easy to update if you can find the h= ostname of the relevant build server, e.g. beefy6.nyi.freebsd.org for 12.0 = AMD64. An ideal alternative would be if the package system could have a command wh= ich would return the SVN revision of the ports tree used for building the c= urrent repository. =2D-=20 Mike Clarke
