Hi

Has adding the ability to install RPM's via pkg been discussed before?
Does it make sense to add this or is it better to leave this
functionality to something like archivers/rpm4? If so, I have some
time and the motivation to implement this and would appreciate any
guidance / pointers that people would be willing to share.
