I suspected repo.txz might not be needed anymore but wanted to make sure first, since ktrace mentionned a file not found error for it.
I guess I was trusting overmuch in "pkg help repo" which still references repo.txz.
I suppose man 8 pkg-repo will want an update though, at the very least to tell people it's deprecated as of 1.2.x and to look at pkg-repository instead.
Thanks for the insight Matthew !
