Hi,

I have just committed (r253305) a change the make pkg_install not being built
and installed by default on HEAD.

If you are still relying on it, be careful and add WITH_PKGTOOLS=yes in your
src.conf(5)

[snip]

I for one am effected and will have to change things.

If you are referring to bsdconfig's package management,

[snip] Yes. that's what I'm talking about. [snip]


it is not working anyway
HEAD as we do not and will not provides any pkg_install for HEAD via any of the
usual distribution process: http, ftp, CD.



The FTP mirror of packages is going away? (if you said yes and pointed at a 
prior conversation about leading up to this, I would not be surprised -- I'm 
just questioning it because I don't see the value in pairing-down methods of 
acquisition)

If this is the case, what's the surviving acquisition method? A custom TCP 
protocol perhaps?

There may be those that wish to use pkg in the pkg_add manner and download 
things and then inspect them manually before adding them. For example, I often 
go the freshports.org<http://freshports.org> to find a package that fills a 
need... download it from the official FTP server(s), inspect all of them, and 
choose the one that best fits me need (and only then installing from the local 
file; tossing the rest). If I go through the "pkg" tool, I have to inspect 
things *after* they've been installed which is not to my satisfaction.

bsdconfig is not installed by
default,

Wrong, please see...
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=252862
[snip]

The first thing that comes to mind in reprogramming bsdconfig's package 
management for pkgng...

We have a *very* large list of FTP mirrors. This will presumably be replaced 
with a list of "pkg" mirrors.

Do we have such a list that we want to program into the base configuration of 
bsdconfig?
