For the purpose of tracking changes I've made to the system, I've been playing around with PKG_DBDIR and PKG_DESTDIR to help me create a "pristine" file hierarchy, where I've extracted the file sets and will install some packages. Unfortunately I've run into issues with PKG_DESTDIR when testing the package installation:
* pkg_add seems to be ignoring PKG_DESTDIR but working with the -B flag, pkg_delete is working correctly with both. * On a more pedantic note, both PKG_DESTDIR and the -B flag seem to insert extraneous slashes. Output below shows /pristine//... but if I use -B /pristine/ I get /pristine///... I'm using 4.8-release as I've not got a spare machine to install a snapshot. I had a quick look to see if I could spot what was going wrong but looking at perl source for the first time made my head explode. I've checked the commit messages to Add.pm, PkgAdd.pm, AddCreateDelete.pm and Paths.pm but couldn't see anything that looked related.
