--- Comment #6 from Dan Mahoney <freebsd@gushi.org> ---
Minor nit?
Right now in 5.1, the top of /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf says:
```
#
# To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file, e.g.:
#
# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# echo "FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }" >
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
# echo "FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no }" >>
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#
# Note that the FreeBSD-base repository is disabled by default.
#
```
Maybe this should instead say "please make all changes/overrides" in
/usr/local/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf, this file will be stomped on upgrades, etc,
rather than just "to disable a repository".
