After use pkg in FreeBSD 10 and very satisfied with the result I feel curious about its brother, DragonFlyBSD.
I install DragonFlyBSD 3.8.2 using 32 bit inside my virtualbox ( I think its same if I run with vps that provide custom iso like vultr).
After configure ssh server for network access, I start test pkg command :
$ ssh [email protected]

Preinstalled package after I type pkg update is more than FreeBSD offer but I like it, I have git, curl and bind out of box 🙂

Looks like the version is bit out date but not big problem for me as wordpress provide easy upgrade procedure.
Good news for me is PHP also available in 5.2 version.
Try install it via pkg
# pkg install php52

I don’t understand about error message above (Avalon has no meta file) so I ignore it 🙂
Looks like I love DragonFlyBSD too. Same pkg and no hard learning curve 🙂
