But no, the pargs shouldn't be passed directly to close(). They need to
be specific options to the related pkgsend subcommand. The
pkgsend/pkgrecv command ideally should be wrappers around the
publication api, and then the publication api wrappers around the hidden
specifics. That ensures that if the publication api changes, that users
won't know, and that if the underlying apis change, the publication api
will hide that from pkgsend/pkgrecv.
I'd suggest something like --no-refresh.
Ok, so the two bugs you mention are complementary, and expose, through
the pkgsend cli, functionality which already exists in the transaction
publishing api. I think I read that (and paraphrased it) correctly.
If that seems like the way we want to go, I'll either pick them up or
find a minion to do so.
Exactly; it should be fairly trivial for someone to implement the second
one (6573). The first one (6572), however, requires a new depot
operation for http support so I'd advise avoiding that or live with the
fact that it will cause pkgsend to error out with telling the user that
it isn't supported for http.
