Packages and dependencies...

[Forrest Aldrich]

I think I see what's going on here.

The "package-recursive" makes *.tgz packages IN the dependency 
directories.  But then, it seems that you need go back and copy those 
over to <wherever> and ensure that those packages are installed first 
before the primary port...

I was under the impression that "package-recursive" would create a 
larger *.tgz file that included some of the dependencies.

How then does that installation (pkg_add or pkg_add -p /another/path) 
work with this scenario - is there a recommended approach.

Thanks,
Forrest
