create and publish packages.
And which tool generates the bundle(4) file?
If you want to bundle packages together, at the moment, you publish them
all to the same repository. The repository can then be served via
pkg.depotd(1m) or (in the future) distributed as an on-disk package.
If you're speaking of patch bundles, no such concept exists.
Instead, if you want to update one or more packages, just publish a new
version for each one.
Clients that already have the package installed will only retrieve the
files that changed in the new version.
This greatly simplifies updates and ensures that systems that install
the new version for the first time and those that are upgrading from an
older one get the exact same experience in the most efficient manner
reasonably possible.
