The pkg command is not suitable for scripting or automated installs, as it requires human intervention. You can still use pkg_add -r pkg to perform the conversion, however. >How-To-Repeat: Try to write an Ansible playbook to convert from pkg_add to pkgng while using pkg. >Fix: I don't have a current docs hacking environment set up, but I figured if I wrote some text and sent it in an active committer would happily take it. At least, that's what we did back in FreeBSD's Bronze Age. ;-) I would recommend some text like this. FreeBSD 9.1 and later includes a utility for interactive "bootstrapping" of pkgng. This bootstrap utility downloads and installs pkgng. To bootstrap the system, run: # /usr/sbin/pkg For non-interactive pkgng installs use the pkgng package, as used in older FreeBSD versions. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: ___ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Shouldn't $SUBJECT mention 10.0? Looks like it got missed. (Yeah, yeah, I know, send patches... I acknowledge that I suck.) ==ml -- Michael W.

zpool(8) says hot spares work
Hi, It would be nice if zpool(8) said that hot spares don't work. This is a page synced from upstream, but other ZFS man pages contain FreeBSD-specific notes about missing functionality. Or is there some reason it shouldn't? Is this worth a PR? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
