I suppose if the tests work out then this file and the purposes for which it exists will be back ported. Some other person who is more knowledgeable than myself could comment on the need for meta.txz. I am running pkg-1.3.4 on release 9.1 and the same message appears when I run "pkg update" or "pkg upgrade". Nevertheless, both parameters to pkg work as intended. I've been using the new pkg program since it was first released and except for a few minor hiccups with no data loss it has worked quite well. Kudos to the developers.
