           Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg pkg-updating meaningless on systems
                    using only pkg

           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: pkg at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: leeb at ratnaling.org

# pkg updating
pkg: Unable to open: /usr/ports/UPDATING

UPDATING should be stored in the repo database from which pkg is operating
against and use that.

1. The local copy may be mismatched with respect to the repo, in which case
it's misleading.
2.  A user who has never used ports simply won't have /usr/ports/UPDATING.
