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.
