I think this is already covered; 3.4 pulls the pkgsrc-2013Q1 branch now with /usr/Makefile http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blobdiff/486ae76a135ac308aedf7a1b8841aa8ea16bd08e..DragonFly_RELEASE_3_4:/etc/Makefile.usr >> * I'm not going to have pkgsrc binaries built for the release. > > > That sort of implies DragonFly 3.4 will get pkgsrc binaries too, just > sometime after the release. Is this correct? Yes, I'll work at it - I'm just having trouble keeping up, and delaying the release didn't seem worth it when I often end up telling people to switch back to pkgsrc building from src, anyway.
