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? There may still be time to fix it for 9.1 if we can decide quickly. Yes please. Every time in the past that we have talked about moving the pkg_* tools to the ports the corresponding change for the base was to have a pkg_bootstrap tool that was a use once and forget kind of thing. I was quite surprised when sbin/pkg was added, but since people tell me I already comment on too much, I decided to wait and see what others thought. Doug -- I am only one, but I am one.
