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)
