Current version from my repository -
https://github.com/xzhavilla/pkgng/blob/master/ports/portmaster.patch
- has +IGNOREME working. portmaster -R works too, now. Only packages
and file preservation are missing, plus a small part in portmaster -e.
Also, portmaster now sets the "orphan" flag which makes pkg autoremove
work. Unfortunately pkg query "%a" is broken in pkgng beta 1, so it's not
fully working yet. In addition, since the old package database doesn't store
that information, pkg autoremove will only work with newly installed
packages, for the moment.

Can you test my latest version and report, submitting a log if you get an
error? Thanks.
