Huh? What's not there yet? I've been signing my local repository
since the very beginning. (I'm an unusual case and don't really care
about "official" binary packages -- I want/need to control the options
things are built with, and pkgng won't be able to handle that case
usefully until it has a SAT solver for dependency resolution.)
pkgng is the thing that is finally allowing my to manage the FreeBSD
machines in our infrastructure as easily as the Debian machines;
thankfully we only need about a hundred packages (and no X) rather
than the full set.
