I've noticed that # pkg_add <port> -r doesn't check if the port is installed until after the data has been downloaded. I would think that it would be better to do this check before downloading any data?
Nice, I've always thought that pkg_* was a little backwards.
backup (http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng/)
when used with -d (dump) it exports the whole database in an archive (txz); each package's information is exported as a yaml+mtree file. when used with -r (restore) it reads an archive previously created via pkg backup -d and recreates the database according to the information from the archive.
