I'm trying our FreeBSD 10-RC5.
Upon system installation my 1st step was to install Subversion, since I want to
fetch the most up-to-date src/ and recompile the system.
I did:
pkg_bootstrap
pkg2ng
pkg install subversion
pkg warned me there are many conflicts. I think it's because many packages of
the same type but different version were matched:
Installing subversion: 1.7.14
Installing subversion: 1.6.23_2
I think this is confusing for new FreeBSD. We could either offer a help, or
just fail (exit unless / is present in the package name) and have users Google
the answer.
