1. pkg_create now has a -P argument for specifying dependencies on the command line. 2. pkg_add will honor dependencies and chain-load them automatically if it finds the required package(s) in the same directory as the package that is being loaded. For best results, install packages from a directory containing all the packages you'll possibly need (like /usr/ports/packages/all). 2 remaining flaws: 1. pkg_add looks in one place (where you were when you loaded the primary pkg) for depended packages. If you can come up with a search path scheme that's not a total hack - be my guest! 2. Recursive dependency expansion can result in the name of a dep being listed more than once. This doesn't bother pkg_add since it checks for package existance with pkg_info and will skip already-loaded packages. I don't know how/if pkg_delete handles this yet, however. I need to look into it. |

This is the pkg_install suite of tools for doing maintainance of software "packages". More documentation is available in the man pages for each individual command. This code was written by Jordan Hubbard for FreeBSD, snatched and mildly reshaped by John Kohl in NetBSD and the changes taken back into FreeBSD again by Jordan. Whee! :-)
