I try to use only portmaster and/or directly with the port using make,
etc.  It seems like the pkg stuff ends up biting me every so often.  I far
prefer compiling to packages.

Hopefully my question is simple.  I would love to make the pkg stuff
disappear and only use the ports tree directly or with portmaster.

Somehow I seem to manage to create these problems on most of my ports:

        ===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/gutenprint-base-5.2.8/+CONTENTS

        ===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/gutenprint-cups-5.2.8_1/+CONTENTS

I have a list of my installed ports so I am tempted to just eliminate ALL
the pkg stuff, if possible,  and just use ports directly and portmaster.  I
tried that a few weeks ago and somehow it seems to have come back. This
seems similar to  the forum at
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=42842  I agree with what
rtwingfield says but I don't see a solution.
Basically I would love to remove "pkg pkg_" stuff COMPLETELY and just
compile the port or use portmaster. Is that even an viable option, today?

I am up to date on 9.1 and will upgrade to current 10 shortly after I have
my ports back to manual control if it isn't worse.

Thanks,

ed
