I love Pkgng

Few days ago reinstall my workstation. New setup I done with USB stick with 9.1-RC1.

But I’m not about system setup, just only about Pkgng.

Unlike pkg_add, it calculate dependency and fetch all required first, and install all things very-very fast.

Fantastic tool! Many thanks to guys who work on it.

One note: Since I’m not found how to get list of packages (for next easy install), I do my own.

pkg query can do conditional search, so to get such list I do:

 # pkg query -e "%#r==0" "%o"

 print/cups
 www/firefox
 x11/gnome2
 x11/gnome2-fifth-toe
 editors/gnome2-office
 x11/gnome2-power-tools
 graphics/gqview-devel
 comms/kermit

[cut]

next time we able setup new workstation and do just:

pkg install cups firefox gnome2 gnome2-fifth-toe \
  gnome2-office gnome2-power-tools gqview-devel kermit ...

and after 10 min we have shinny new workstation :)
