Subject:   'make install NO_PKG_REGISTER=1'. Should that still work with staging?

Hello,

There=92s not a whole lot of people who even know this but it used to be =
that a port could be installed without registering it in the package =
database by specifying NO_PKG_REGISTER=3D1 on make(1) command line.  =
It=92s not documented anywhere else but in bsd.port.mk as far as I know.

Now with a port converted to staging it=92s no longer possible to do the =
same because if you turn off the packaging part then quite obviously =
nothing will get installed because staged ports use pkg-plist to do the =
real install and pkg-plist is a pkg(8) feature.

Now my question is that should this NO_PKG_REGISTER trick still work =
with staged ports? If it can not be supported anymore there should be a =
notice somewhere that this feature will no longer work with staged =
ports.
