A much improved binary package management system, known as "pkgng," is on the horizon. More information is available at https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng. Pkgng will feel very natural to anyone familiar with apt.
If you'd like an introduction to pkgng there's a video from BSDCan 2012 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hxq7AHZ27I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hxq7AHZ27I, or see the README at https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/blob/master/README.md.
- Nux 13y agoI'm looking forward to it!
- 65a 13y agoYou can try it on FreeBSD-CURRENT...It's really night-and-day better than it used to be. Less underscores, and it runs about 20-40% faster than the old one even when "adding" software compiled from source (portmaster -day is almost twice as fast).
- Nux 13y agoI'm using this[1], but having problems finding a binary repo where to get pkgng and the packages "ports".
