Hi, is there any way I can find out the entire list of files (and
dependencies) needed before installing a given package? Let's say I
want to add "wget" to openbsd. I export the PKG_PATH to the
appropriate mirror, then type "pkg_add wget". This will do the
installation of wget and all dependencies, but I would like to know
before the actual installation what files are needed (if possible of
course).
My reason for this is so that I can generate a complete list of files
needed to download for a given program, run over to a computer with
high speed, download, run back to my computer, dump the files in the
correct directory (/var/db/pkg) and then install the package.
In this case, wget is very small, but what about Gnome, KDE...
I am thinking of the feature in Synaptic that lets you generate an
installation script; all the files and dependencies needed for a
given package are then saved to a text file as a script.
If this is possible, can somebody let me know?
Thanks,
Marc
