>Description:
I was upgrading from ports tools to the new "pkg" tool and noticed that, after upgrading, the new "nrpe" package did not include SSL support, which my environment requires.
>How-To-Repeat:
pkg install nrpe
>Fix:
I found that the "net-mgmt/nrpe-ssl" port does exist, however, and was able to create a package for that port using:

cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nrpe-ssl
make package
pkg add /usr/ports/packages/All/nrpe-ssl-2.15_2.txz

This solved my problem, but I wanted to file this to see if there was any way of including an "nrpe-ssl" package alongside the "nrpe" package in the repository so that people could simply remove "nrpe" and install "nrpe-ssl" if they need SSL support instead of going through this process.  Also, this now puts my nrpe-ssl package outside the streamlined "pkg upgrade" shortcut to upgrade all packages on the system.

I am new to the "pkg" system, so I could just be missing something where nrpe-ssl is easier installed with "pkg" in some way.  If that is the case, please let me know how I *should* have done this, as I could not find it in the documentation for "pkg".

Thank you.
