-current changes often enough, it is not practical to maintain binary
packages for all versions. You either compile the packages you need from
pkgsrc yourself, or use the latest available, perhaps from 8BETA (although
I never checked if these are present). I personally run   current on all my
machines, physical or virtual, and  I usually start from an ISO downloaded
from releng.netbsd.org, then I get pkgsrc and install sysbuild and
sysupdate, then I load src.tar.gz and xsrc.tar.gz from -current, configure
sysbuild and setup overnight cron job to update it nightly. The packages
usually continue to work without a problem, there are a few one has to
update from time to time - i.e. osabi, lsof and x11-links, but otherwise
there are not many problems. While I have tried pkgin and binary packages,
I've found that the flexibility in dealing with the sources and choosing
the package options yourself is worth the waiting for the compilations.
