Not switching - adding to the install. Dports is already available in the 3.3 development images of DragonFly. Pkgsrc will still be available in the 3.4 release.

If dports works out well during this release cycle, we may switch to it for the next release - we'll find out by trying it, but this won't leave anyone having to jump packaging systems immediately. Unless, of course, they want to, cause dports is pretty slick.

I am the author of the linked post - it's not necessarily that clear because it's a conversation with the other developers that have been using these tools, not a release announcement.
