ISTM that the earlier you jumped on to pkgng the more it hurt you. I
thought I'd waited until it was stable, and re-wrote my jail
deployment process to bootstrap pkgng and set up my own repo, only to
have it repeatedly break - by changing how to run the bootstrap, and
then changing how repos are organized.
Eg I had a jail that perfectly happily was updating from my repo, pkg
gets upgraded on the jail, it cannot recognise the configuration for
my repo anymore and starts pulling from a completely different repo!

I get that getting things perfectly right first time is hard, but it
seems that things were changed to the "right" way without too much
thought about people doing it the "current" way - and that's a pain.

Cheers

Tom
