--- Comment #1 from Alan Somers <asomers@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is a good start, but I think there are at least two problems, and maybe
four:
* Testing BSDINSTALL_PKG_REPOS_DIR should use "-n": if [ -n "$..." ]
* "bsdinstall pkgbase" and "bsdinstall distextract" should be mutually
exclusive. If the script does the former, then it must skip "bsdinstall
checksum" and "bsdinstall pkgbase"
* changing the default value of DISTRIBUTIONS may break existing scripts. Best
to leave it the same.
* "bsdinstall pkgbase" already does something sensible if
BSDINSTALL_PKG_REPOS_DIR is unset. So I don't think that you should require
the user to set it. Rather, to select a pkgbase install, I think you should
either require the user to set DISTRIBUTIONS="", or else introduce a new
variable.
