One of the things pkgng lacks is the old ports "make pkg" function -- in order to build an installable package, you pretty much must be running poudriere.

No, with pkgng you have several ways to create a package from a port.

On a system where the port is installed:

  $ mkdir -p $space/packages//All
  $ cd $space/packages
  $ pkg create -o $space/packages/All -x p5*
# optional if you want to distribute your packages create the pkg indexes
  $ pkg repo .

Now you have a repo with all your p5* packages, change "-x p5" to "-a" and you have a repo with all installed package, see man pkg-create(8)


If you want to create a package directly in the directory of the port

  $ mkdir -p $space/packages/All
  $ sysrc -f /etc/make.conf PACKAGES="$space/packages"
  $ cd $PORT
  $ make package

Now you have one package in $space/packages/All and one in $PORT/work/pkg
