Works quite well, in fact.  Obviously, pkgsend to a second
repository would change the timestamp and technically make it a new
package, but apart from that, it works quite well as a replication
tool.

One thing to be careful about is that the downloaded files are still
gzipped after pkgrecv and these need to be unzipped before pkgsend.

Venky.
