pkg_add really needs a command line option instead of only using the

"pkg_add -r http://my.freebsd-repo.com/packages/All/
my_packages-1.0.tbz"
works fine ;-)
The behavior is not identical. For example, this works only for a
single package.
/usr/sbin/pkg_add -r http://my.location/packages/{pkgname}
This works for multiple packages:
export PACKAGESITE=http://my.location/packages/
/usr/sbin/pkg_add -r {pkgname} {pkgname2}
Also, the former will not resolve dependancies properly (it alters
the path), whereas the latter will.
In short, they are not synonymous. A command line option which is
synonymous with the environment variable would be very useful in
scripts/cfengine/etc.
I thought I had opened a bug on this, but apparently not...
