There's nothing in pkg_tools to stop it working on a pkgng-enabled system. This does not mean that installing pkg_tools packages in that situation is in any way supported or encouraged. If you do this, you will create a mess on your systems and store up a nasty job of sorting it all out for yourself. It really isn't a good idea. I know there is a lack of availability of official pre-compiled packages from the FreeBSD project at the moment. This is an unfortunate consequence of the security problem in November, and all I can do is ask for your patience as the situation gets sorted out. In the mean time, the best advice is to compile your own. Either directly from ports, by using portmaster or portupgrade or else by using an off-line package building system like poudriere or tinderbox[*]. Cheers, Matthew [*] You need tinderbox-devel for pkgng support, or the upcoming 4.0.0 release. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

I guessed in that direction. So I'll be patient and wait for packages because I've never been able to build wine (64bit) myself from source. I just need it for some old games anyway. ;) Regards, Jens -- 26. Julmond 2012, 11:13 Homepage : http://www.jan0sch.de All my friends and I are crazy.

As long as the files installed with the old and the new package tools are mutually exclusive you shouldn't have a problem. If you patch your ports tree with the wine-fbsd64 diff then it is possible to use `pkg2ng` to convert to the pkgng format. (Although I have never tested that, see documentation for pkg2ng and `pkg create`).
