Could you wait until December?  pkgsrc isn't part of the system yet, if
you're a 1.2.x user, and I don't want to have to migrate a system to
pkgsrc until Joerg's fixes are in the pkgsrc tree.  Also, I don't know if
all the applications I'm using under ports right now have a working pkgsrc
equivalent on DragonFly, yet.

For that matter, it'd be nice to have gobsd.com/packages still work, or at
least redirect.  Any person trying 1.2 right now is going to have to do
some digging to find out how everything meshes.
