When will binary packages be back?

[Brett Glass]

Unfortunately, I've never experimented with pkgng, so will have to 
come up to speed on
this. Might be a temporary workaround.

In the meantime, I'm trying to install Apache 2.2 on a small 
server. So far, just to
build the port, the machine has built Perl, Python, m4, Berkeley 
DB, and an incredible
assortment of other stuff that I do not want or need on that 
machine! And because
the "make distclean" command in the FreeBSD ports system does not 
remove code for
dependencies, I'll have tons of source -- including GPLed code, 
which I do not want
to touch -- on the machine unless I do a painstaking manual search 
and removal. Aaargh!
