I am an enthusiastic FreeBSD newbie, just smart enough to search for a mailing list like this one. Would it be possible to make an exception to the new .tbz format package policy for pkg_add itself (i.e. provide it in .tgz format)? I suggest this in the hope that a painless and simple upgrade could be performed using something like:
pkg_add -r pkg_add This is assuming that there are no other technical obstacles. If this notion is nogo then what is the simplest alternative? Please pardon my ignorance. I see that this thread subsided on a note of resolution, but I'm daunted by the implications for the time being. Not for long I hope.
