I don't know. I have never used pkgin.
Show package direct dependencies: # pkgin show-deps foo Show package full dependency tree: # pkgin show-full-deps foo Show package reverse dependency tree (packages depending directly or indirectly): # pkgin show-rev-deps foo But obviously cannot alter build options as they are fetched from the servers (or locally if you specify a local path in /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf. With the help of this list, I had written a script to synchronize pkgin and pkgsrc and use pkgin if binaries were available in the repositories. I has to trash my system away and I didn't make a backup but it shouldn't be difficult to rewrite it. It would be nice if pkgsrc could be configured natively to fetch binaries with pkgin if available.
