This would be my personal preference. This also means the local addition of -z comes into question as the upstream changes replace "pkg_info -e" with "pkg_info -Iq" for looking up package state, which does not handle name lookups in the same way. I believe landry@ should be involved in this decision because from what I recall he is one of the people who wanted the addition (and might be depending on it). I'll repeat my original thoughts about this from when I added the branch support: === I should add that I think the -z addition may actually work worse on the latest code, because i switched the usage of "pkg_info -e" to "pkg_info -Iq inst:name" for finding out the state of a requested package. While -e manages to find a package without the patchlevel version attached (which i believe was a benefit that -z added), this does not seem to be true for "-Iq inst:". This could mean that the module will always think that the package needs to be installed because it can't tell there is a package with the supplied name (plus patchlevel) already installed. === -- Patrik Lundin
