Awesome, thank you.

So, to bootstrap my custom php5 package onto a system, I must use -r
to tell pkg to use my repo, then pkg annotate to make the package
sticky.

Will annotation affect dependencies? Or should I make note of all the
packages installed from my private repo and manually "stickify" them?

Just trying to get this straight before I finish this blog post.
