When I figured out what a "pkg install entire" did I wondered why the "entire" package wasn't named "update" instead since this is what it does basically. I say this because the command line "pkg install entire" implies (to me) that all the available packages on the repository will be installed whereas "pkg install update" is syntactically closer to the semantics. > The behaviours that entire, redistributable, etc. enforce are generic > functionality that is documented in man pkg.5.
