From bapt at FreeBSD.org Mon Sep 1 09:28:27 2014 From: bapt at FreeBSD.org (Baptiste Daroussin) Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2014 11:28:22 +0200 Subject: [FreeBSD-Ports-Announce] [HEADSUP] The ports tree is now stage only Message-ID: <20140901092822.GC92321@ivaldir.etoilebsd.net> Hi all, The ports tree is now fully staged (only 2% has been left unstaged, marked as broken and will be removed from the ports tree if no PR to stage them are pending in bugzilla). I would like to thank every committer and maintainers for their work on staging! It allowed us to convert more than 23k packages to support stage in only 11 months! Staging is a very important state, it allows us to right now be able to run quality testing scripts on the packages (which already allowed to fix tons of hidden problems) and it allows use to be able to build packages as a regular user! It also opens the gates to new features that users have been requesting for many years: - flavors - multiple packages Expect those features to happen in the near future.

The simplest way is cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg make install then run pkg2ng You will have lots of warning, don't be scared, they are expected, pkg_* databases used to get easily mangled. pkg2ng is most of the time able to deal with it. If however you encounter a problem then please report to pkg at FreeBSD.org A tag has been applied to the ports tree if you need to get the latest ports tree before the EOL of pkg_install: https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/tags/PKG_INSTALL_EOL A branch has been created if some committers want to provides updates on the for pkg_install users: https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/branches/pkg_install Please note that this branch is not officially maintained and that we strongly recommend that you do migrate to pkg(8) Best regards, Bapt on behalf of portmgr -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
