freebsd stable - Sep 2014 - [HEADSUP] pkg(8) is now the only package management tool

Hi all,

The ports tree has been modified to only support pkg(8) as package management
system for all supported version of FreeBSD.

if you were still using pkg_install (pkg_* tools) you will have to upgrade your
system.

The simplest way is
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
make install
then run 
pkg2ng

You will have lots of warning, don't be scared, they are expected, pkg_*
databases used to get easily mangled. pkg2ng is most of the time able to deal
with it.

If however you encounter a problem then please report to pkg@FreeBSD.org

A tag has been applied to the ports tree if you need to get the latest ports
tree before the EOL of pkg_install:
https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/tags/PKG_INSTALL_EOL

A branch has been created if some committers want to provides updates on the
for pkg_install users:
https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/branches/pkg_install

Please note that this branch is not officially maintained and that we strongly
recommend that you do migrate to pkg(8)

Best regards,
Bapt on behalf of portmgr
