> Description:
The sentence at the beginning of "Using pkgng for Binary Package Management" section \
leads one to believe that PKGNG tools are not used when building ports(7) the usual \
way with WITH_PKGNG set.

"While ports-mgmt/portmaster and ports-mgmt/portupgrade can install third-party \
software from both binary packages and the Ports Collection, pkgng installs only \
binary packages."

This could be rewritten to:

"While ports-mgmt/portmaster and ports-mgmt/portupgrade can install third-party \
software from both binary packages and the Ports Collection, pkgng only deals with \
installing and registering of binary packages into the system. Software installed \
from the Ports Collection are registered into the system as pkgng packages that can \
be updated by using binary packages or the Ports Collection".
