What I want to know is this new pkg system going to remove the
requirement of having the complete ports tree on my system?
What I am looking for in an port system, is to install a port and any
files needed for the parent port and its dependents to automatically
be downloaded. So in the end my system ports tree only contain the
files used to install the ports I use and their dependents.
The new pkg system is not a replacement for the ports tree.
If you still like to compile software from ports, you will need the
ports tree.
But you can install a precompiled package with the new pkg system and it
automatically downloads all necessary binary packages it depends on. So
probably you dont need the ports any more.
