i have noticed in pkg_add when doing a full upgrade
the "n to go" to skip about crazily, sometimes from 96 to 89, etc.
not to be an ass, but if it is an estimate, it should say so...
i find "n to go" to be pretty empirical when it comes to software.
i also think that the pkg tools are becoming somewhat chatty
for no particular reason.. ("Looking for packages: ok" -- what's
that for really? if there's a problem tell me, but if everything
is ok, why tell me? this is not linux, is it?)
when i am doing an update (full or partial), it kind of doesn't
matter how many packages are there "to go", esp if it's an estimate
at best.. i think all the chat should go to -v (verbose).
just my 2 cents.
