Modified files:
usr.sbin/pkg_install/create create.h main.c perform.c
pkg_create.1
Log:
Add a -n option to pkg_create(1), to inhibit duplicate work.
When run without this option, multiple runs of `pkg_create -Rb' will
recreate common packages multiple times. This can take a lot of time
for large packages. With the -n option `pkg_create -b' checks with
stat(2) and skips packages that already exist.
Note that this may *not* be safe of the existing output file is not
really a package, or if it has been corrupted, modified or otherwise
tinkered with between subsequent pkg_create runs. For this and POLA
reasons, the default behavior is to *rebuild* the packages, and the -n
option can be used when we know it is `safe' to run in no-regenerate
mode.
