A depends on dependency B then dependency A will be in all cases listed before B, so ``pkg_add -r'' will fetch/install packages in the correct order. Previously dependencies were sorted just by its names, which is why ``pkg_add -r'' never actually worked properly. To be usefull, hovewer, this fix requires that all packages have been rebuilt, so it will take some time until users would be able to feel posititive improvements. For the same reasons it is desirable to propagate these changes to the 4-stable package building cluster *before* 4.3 ports freeze, so packages for 4.3-RELEASE would be properly prepared.

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! :-)
