 * As long as that directory is not /var/db/pkg, where I put my package
 * information, I agree that it doesn't matter either. :-)

Ok.  I'll move it out then.

 * I'm not sure that this is a solution so much as a band-aid, however.

Of course.  It's more of a safety belt, to avoid having people
shooting off their own toes. :>

The real problem is that people try to track ports-current with a
release system.  There is no solution to that, that's why I'm
providing a series of band-aids....

 * I could record the version number of the system as it was when
 * sysinstall installed it (3.1-RELEASE, X.X-YYYYMMDD-CURRENT, etc) but
 * that's about it.

Actually, as you may have read in another message, it seems the
problem was caused by a failing install due to to /var/db/pkg missing
from the mtree list.  Since the release build uses installworld,
there really isn't anything special you need to do.

 * Well, the fetch -A thing was another imprudent leap off the wire
 * without a net, I'm not sure I'd use it to aid my arguments if I were
 * you. :-)

Aw, touche.  But it's no fun leaping if there's a net!
