The previous algorithm was recursing over the INDEX file in order to find all dependencies to build a tree-view of the package dependencies, and now only 1 iteration is needed to accomplish this :) Now, only if there was a libpkg ready, then pkg_add_it(1) could be transformed into a standalone install tool, which does not need pkg_add(1) for it's job :) Regards, Marin > Regards, > Marin > > -- > Marin Atanasov Nikolov > > dnaeon AT gmail DOT com > daemon AT unix-heaven DOT org > http://www.unix-heaven.org/ > --=20 Marin Atanasov Nikolov dnaeon AT gmail DOT com daemon AT unix-heaven DOT org http://www.unix-heaven.org/
