Hello,
I've spent some hours messing around with pkg_add now but can't seem
to get any further.
Thing is this: if I build the reportmagic port from source, all
dependencies get resolved (no matter whether some parts
 of them are already in place or not) and the port works.

If I create packages of all dependencies, put them all in the same dir
and do
# pkg_add -v reportmagic-2.04.tgz

then pkg_add will add some of the dependencies (IMHO the ones which
are direct dependencies of the program) but will fail to add others
(those look like dependencies of the dependencies) thus leaving an
unusable package. The thing with the dependencies of the dependencies
isn't always happening, though: if I do

# pkg_add p5-GD-Graph3d-0.55.tgz
# pkg_add reportmagic-2.04.tgz

everything works. However, p5-GD-Graph3d appears[1] to have "2nd
level dependencies" as well so I can't exactly understand why this
approach works. Running the second approach on a remote machine
(fetching packages via HTTP) won't work since pkg_add isn't able to
resolve the dependencies of p5-GD-Graph3d-0.55 for some reasons (the
files are there since the directory is linked directly into the HTTP
tree!).

Time to file a PR?




Best regards,
 Gabriel
[1] as only p5-GD-Graph is listed in the Makefile, but all the
GD/PNG/JPEG stuff get's installed.
