Running "pkg install -g '*'" might install some outdated packages, so I'd want
to look through. There could even be some conflicts.
Some of the packages not installed are widespread buil;d dependencies, such as
nasm, and are better installed than rebuilt or temporarily reinstalled every
time.
I dont think it would be possible to install everything created by a run of
"synth everything" because of conflicts. Anyway, that would be overkill.
I don't want to be caught short on build prerequisites for future package
builds, or cross-compiling Haiku or Linux toolchains.
Some of the build dependencies not installed seem rather basic to a development
system, such as nasm and bison, and are rather standard in Linux distributions.
And then it was irritating when some specifically named packages were not
installed (math/gnumeric, editors/abiword-docs, mail/metamail, for instance).
