Install git, and then something like:

  git clone https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng.git
  cd pkgng
  git checkout release-1.0
  make

then you can run pkg-static from the pkg-static directory, or you can
'make install', and run pkg as usual.

There will be a pkg-1.0.4 release fairly soon though.

	Cheers,
