>Description:
Using "pkg add" from pkgng (aka ports-mgmt/pkg) fails when the package file comes from stdin.
For example:
# pkg add /dev/stdin < /tmp/pcre-8.33.txz
Installing pcre-8.33...pkg: /dev/stdin has no extension
This is a clear regression over the traditional tools. It is also a pain when you build the packages in one jail, and then execute "pkg add" in a different jail when stdin coming from a file outside the jail environment.
