@pkgpath tells pkg_add that it can be considered as a replacement for another pkgpath. But first you need to get pkg_add to know that it should even download that file at all, if the package stem is different then it won't normally do that, and that's what quirks does. > Starting to wonder if we should bother moving this at all... It's fairly straightforward to do, just needs doing correctly and testing. But it's annoying enough that people need to think carefully about PKGNAMEs at initial import time :-)
