+ AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
+
+ Since June 22nd, portmaster no longer relies on 'WITH_PKGNG' to be defined,
+ or ports to be checked out to enable pkgng support.
+
+ It now considers whether or not pkg is installed and registered with itself.
+
+ I.e., if this returns data, pkgng is considered in use:
+
+ # pkg info pkg
+
+ It's possible that you may have tested pkgng in the past, ran pkg2ng, and
+ never fully committed to it by setting WITH_PKGNG. If this is the case,
+ uninstall pkg with pkg_info/pkg_delete and also remove the stale database,
+ rm /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite.
+
+ This could manifest itself as portmaster -L showing the wrong versions, or
+ portmaster no longer detecting installed packages correctly.
+
+ Note that PORTS still require WITH_PKGNG=yes in make.conf if you are not
+ running CURRENT.
