First thanks for pkgng, it made life a lot easier here. I have a feature request: sometimes ports are removed completely (e.g. textproc/py-xml), or there are multiple supported versions and an old version is removed, e.g. net/isc-dhcp42-server When I have the corresponding packages installed, it is not easy to identify these packages (sometimes such remobal is documented in UPDATING bt for the above examples that is not the case). It would be a nice option if one of the pkg tools could identify packages that have an origin that no longer exists in the ports tree. Perhaps even that pkg upgrade would delete these packages with a sepcial option. would be happy to create a patch if it weren't for the fact that I don't really know the right place/tool to add it to. -Guido
