Hello, During this summer, I'll work on the pkg_install tools to add complete package support. A complete package is a package which includes all the required dependencies in its tarball. Unlike the PBI package format of PC-BSD, once a complete package is installed, it appears as every package contained in the complete package was installed separately. As a side effect, I'll add libarchive support to the pkg_add tool to make installation as efficient as possible and do some refactoring to allow code re usability. I'll also surely write automated tests which would benefit to the pkg_install tools. My page on the wiki is http://wiki.freebsd.org/SOC2010JulienLaffaye You can email me on or off list is you have any questions, comments or suggestions. Best regards, Julien Laffaye
