>Description:
	Handbook implies (by mentioning how it improves upon old program)
that users should switch to pkgng.  However, it doesn't mention that there
are currently no available FreeBSD.org repositories for pkgng, 
regardless of branch.  Even the 3rd party repositories, such as PCBSD's,
are limited--for example, PCBSD's repository is only for amd64.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Follow Handbook's instructions for installing pkgng.  Then attempt
to use it to install something.
>Fix:

	Perhaps, until this rectified, an entry in the pkgng section of
the Handbook, informing the reader that despite improvements to the older
programs, there are currently no official FreeBSD repositories of pkgng
packages, and that if the user wishes to use pkgng, they can use PCBSD's or
exonetric's, at their own risk.

 Switch to pkgng does not require there to be repositories. It works in
 ports just fine, as a replacement for the old tools. The ability to
 upgrade/install from a remote repository is not ready yet, but pkgng
 is ready to switch to today, while still using portmaster/portupgrade.

 Understood.  The request is that mention be made of the fact that those who
 install pkgng with the hope of using it for binary package management
 would benefit from being informed that there are no officially approved
 repositories for it yet.  For example, in this thread on FreeBSD
 forums.  http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=41933
 there is a somewhat frustrated user.  
 
 Thank you for taking the time to look at it.

 This PR can be closed now, We've had official pkgng repos for a while now.
