Unfreakingbelievable.

All (at least seemingly) of the open source software that I'm accustomed to installing on Linux distributions is now available via a simple pkg install command (I know /pending is a stepping stone for /contrib but still). The future looks very very bright indeed. I can't wait to start installing things and playing around. Seriously, kudos to you and the team. I can't wait to see this evolve. Cheers, -- Glenn
