When run without this option, multiple runs of `pkg_create -Rb' will recreate common packages multiple times. This can take a lot of time for large packages. With the -n option `pkg_create -b' checks with stat(2) and skips packages that already exist. Note that this may *not* be safe of the existing output file is not really a package, or if it has been corrupted, modified or otherwise tinkered with between subsequent pkg_create runs. For this and POLA reasons, the default behavior is to *rebuild* the packages, and the -n option can be used when we know it is `safe' to run in no-regenerate mode.

This is the pkg_install suite of tools for doing maintainance of software "packages". More documentation is available in the man pages for each individual command. This code was written by Jordan Hubbard for FreeBSD, snatched and mildly reshaped by John Kohl in NetBSD and the changes taken back into FreeBSD again by Jordan, who then proceeded to add another couple of dozen features on top. Whee! :-)
