If you're building your own systems, then there should be /etc/src.conf
options to disable the old pkg tools. According to src.conf(5):
WITHOUT_PKGTOOLS
Set to not build pkg_add(8) and related programs.
This should add pkg_add et al to the obsolete files list, so 'make
delete-old' will remove them.
Otherwise, you can clear out the old pkg_tools data from /var/db/pkg --
this will make pkg_tools think there are no packages installed which
mostly renders accidentally using those tools harmless.
To do this, delete the subdirectories under /var/db/pkg. This is what
the contents of /var/db/pkg look like on a fully pkgng-ised setup:
lucid-nonsense:/var/log:# ls -la /var/db/pkg
total 11332
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 5 Feb 11 07:34 ./
drwxr-xr-x 24 root wheel 36 Feb 11 07:24 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 17022976 Feb 11 07:12 local.sqlite
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1412096 Feb 11 07:09
repo-infracaninophile.sqlite
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 3077188 Feb 8 05:48 vuln.xml
where you will have different repository names or several different
repo-foo.sqlite files depending on what you have configured.
One note of caution: if you use portmaster, it uses those per-port
subdirectories under /var/db/pkg to stash some information about what
distfiles ports use. I don't think it is a disaster if that info gets
blown away, but don't get concerned if those subdirectories keep
re-appearing. The significant difference is if there's a file +CONTENTS
plus various other files starting with + -- if those aren't there, then
it's all good.
Cheers,
Matthew
