>Description:
Pkgng is the default for FreeBSD 10.0 The `/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf' contains the line:

url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",

Unfortunately this repo is a little out-of-date / doesn't contain a few important packages. One of the very first steps on a newly installed system would be:

# pkg install xorg

Unfortunately it will fail:

# pkg install xorg
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: Missing dependency matching 'x11-servers/xorg-server'
pkg: Missing dependency matching 'x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa'
pkg: Missing dependency matching 'x11-drivers/xorg-drivers'
pkg: No packages matching 'xorg' available in the repositories

Wouldn't:

url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/release/0",

as a default be any better?
