Since many years I have always compiled "my" (i.e. the ports I need)
from CVS or now SVN ports tree on some fast baquery maschine. After
compiling I just did something like:

# mkdir PKG
# cd PKG 
# pkg_create -Rnb `cd /var/db/pkg ; ls -C1`

and moved the resulting ~1500 packages to my laptops or smaller
netbooks. Until today I'm still using the old pkg_info/_add/_create
tools and skipped pkgng until today.

Will the above procedure work fine too in the future?

Why not keep the old methods unchanged in place as today?

Thanks
