'RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE'.

This commit was manufactured to restore the state of the 2.2.1-RELEASE image.
Releases prior to 5.3-RELEASE are omitting the secure/ and crypto/ subdirs.

Make a small optimization which shaves about a second off the time

it takes to build the `All' menu in configPackages.

Bring forward my changes from 2.1

You can run pkg_info everywhere expect /var/db/pkg directory :-)

Running there you got any kind of strange errors from tar caused
by treating directories as tar files!
Fix it by adding new isfile(name) (check for reg. files) to simple fexists(name) calls.

Remove trailing whitespace.

Fix a long-standing bug that broke pkg_info utterly and probably made

1995-05-10T23:00:07+00:00

pkg_add a little wiggy too.  Document the fact that pkg_info can also
take a URL.

Whoops! One of my automatics was initialized to garbage. Fix it.

1995-04-28T18:24:31+00:00

Make pkg_info URL aware (and also make it use the PKG_PATH properly, like

1995-04-26T15:08:02+00:00

everyone else).  Try this:
	pkg_info ftp://freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/all/gmake-3.73.tgz

Add support for the ${PKG_DBDIR} environment variable. /var/db/pkg is the

1995-04-19T14:02:01+00:00

default, and probably not something you'd ever change, but now it's
possible to do so for local/custom installations.

Added new function show_index() which does a 'smart' display of the index file.

1995-01-05T01:10:13+00:00

Index descriptions are limited to MAXINDEXSIZE (60) chars.  Any description
beyond that is truncated.  Also, only the first line is displayed as well.
This allows pkg_info -a -I to be formated in two columns with one line
per package for easy reading.
