Have you verified installation of binary packages

- via ftp
- via http
Yes. It has been used for that.
OK.
BTW, while there: have you tested httpd-URLS and http-URLs with basic
authentication? This currently doesn't seem to work... (not crucial, but
"would be nice").
- pkg_add no longer extracts to /var/tmp, in-place installation is the

How do you roll back if something goes wrong in pkg_add?
pkg_delete as before. It makes sure to write the pkgdb entry first and
will try to clean up as usual.
OK.
