Packages can be used without a full tree (as Kris mentioned). It can be argued that using only pkg_install to maintain packages is a PITA, but it's still possible. The fact that there's no proper tool part of or on top of pkg_install to do it is irrelevant. > The multi-site package fetching is definitely something I'm interested it, > but I also figured it would just iterate over the values in PACKAGESITE > > PACKAGESITE=ftp://foo/stdpath/base/Latest/ ftp://foo/stdpath/www/Latest > > where base would have things like sudo, bash, vim, etc... and could be used > on multiple computers. > > www would have things like apache22 mod_X and would be used on 'www' class > machines.

It looks like /etc/pkg.conf is duplicating a lot of things already in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. Would not it be better to just have the pkg_install tools read that file instead ? packages are usually built from the ports tree, but not always, and users may use packages without a ports tree present on the local system.

I probably missed all the back story here, so feel free to put me in my place. The multi-site package fetching is definitely something I'm interested it, but I also figured it would just iterate over the values in PACKAGESITE PACKAGESITE=ftp://foo/stdpath/base/Latest/ ftp://foo/stdpath/www/Latest where base would have things like sudo, bash, vim, etc... and could be used on multiple computers. www would have things like apache22 mod_X and would be used on 'www' class machines. -- Philip M.
