Subject:   Using pkg_add fetch only

Good evening,

I'm writing on the ezjail project and want to be able to use the easy 
interface of pkg_add to fetch packages recursively.

This is _fetch_, not install them, since installation is expected to 
happen at a later stage when starting up lots of jails each being 
identical.

Clearly pkg_add does not provide this option. Even if it would, it would 
declare some dependencies fulfilled since packages are installed in the 
hostsystem already.

Anyone having an idea here, besides rewriting pkg_add?

Regards
