From a user standpoint, it is confusing that running the command gets different results the second time it is run vs. the first time. I can imagine a user saying "I ran pkg, but it didn't do what they said it would. Now I run it again, and it does do what it is supposed to." Also, it would enable setting up a pkg-bootstrap man page separate from the pkg man page, without confusion about which one you're looking at. > > So, opinions?

I'm interested in other's opinion. regards, Bapt [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlA2rkAACgkQ8kTtMUmk6Ex7wACdEqj6Voz/cLCwB0Wz14EgrAVE SjkAmwVKxjbKoMOA/fheXbJGPAYHiAAM =OmCe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
