The goal is to have bsdinstall drop those functionalities and instead link to bsdconfig. > "...look at the 'Packages' item in this menu." and on the main page - "Most > importantly, you can use the Packages utility..." - I don't see a Packages > entry in the menu. > This will be added before MFC and before switching WITH_BSDCONFIG to WITHOUT_BSDCONFIG. bsdconfig needs to replicate package installation because sysinstall had it… but bsdconfig is going to use pkgng instead of the legacy tools. This will greatly improve the abilities of the tool (you'll be able to perform remote package queries, etc. -- something you couldn't ever do in sysinstall). However, in order to build a more full-and-complete package management tool based on pkgng, we needed the help of bapt (and he's agreed to help -- later). Right now, bsdconfig and pkgng are maturing side-by-side without knowledge of each other. As they both slow down a bit, integration becomes a closer reality and less of a moving target. -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
