Some wiki reading later, I was ready to dive in.</p> <p>More sources of information seem to be springing up about this new package manager, and though it does not solve all of the issues surrounding package management in FreeBSD such as custom options on your ports, it sure is a vast improvement from previous tools that are available for FreeBSD for my use cases.</p>
