You can generate your own packages from the ports tree, just not with
pkg_install, it was deprecated three or four years ago, and remove 19
months ago.
The best way to generate packages is with ports-mgmt/poudriere, it will
generate a very nice pkg repository.
Of course I can create NEW packages.. I want to generate OLD style
packages..
what's so hard to understand about that? if a company has old
packages build into it's infrastructure....
and has to create old style packages of "proprietary stuff" to send
out to appliances out in the field then you are breaking them.
