Hello, It seems on 5.x that the support for .tgz packages is limited. You can do a pkg_add for a local .tgz file but pkg_add -r or pkg_add with a URL (i.e. ftp://) path specifiedwould not work because it automatically assumes the packages are of the .tbz variety and tries to uncompress it as a bzip file.
I was just wondering if there was a plan/timeline to add full support for .tgz packages because in the code, there are comments about adding support for tgz files. /* XXX: need to handle .tgz also */. Also has anyone modified the code on their system to support .tgz packages?
