It looks like there's 3 scenarios: Fresh install of 1.4: build as above Upgrade to 1.4, already using pkgsrc: all set My scenario: upgrade from 1.2 (ports) to 1.4 (pkgsrc): either remove all ports and then build as above, or build the bootstrap with a custom pkgdbdir, as the default is the same as that used by ports, and then remove ports as needed. In a perfect world, I'd remove one port at a time and add the pkgsrc replacement as it becomes available. I can't just clear off the machine completely of ports, because there aren't pkgsrc equivalents for some of the things I need, plus it'd make the machine unuseful for a while. Argh. I'm not typing this just to vent - pkgsrc usage needs to be documented both on the wiki and in the handbook... which means I need to find some time.
