Hi guys,

ok so I see:

2014-04-30 ports-mgmt/pkg_install: Replaced by ports-mgmt/pkg


So now how do enterprises maintaining appliances etc. generate packages for old 
systems?

(yeah I know about chroot/jails etc.) but we have it embedded into several 
workflows
that deliver stuff that is not 'regular packages'.
pkg_install is still available in 10.x, but when we move to 11 (we will lose that).
Can we please have a port made of the last pkg_install from the 10 branch so 
that
it is still available when we move to 10?

There WAS such a port but it was removed for some odd reason around the same 
time
it was removed from -current. (By rene)
The standard procedure for removing something from base usually includes making 
sure it is still available in ports.
Removing it from ports at the same time is a pretty bad breakage of POLA.

It is true that new machines will not need it but not all the world is a new 
machine.
