>Description:
It is not possible to create a binary package of pkg_install.
It would be really nice to have this so upgrading pkg_install
doesn't request downloading pkgsrc, but could be done with
a "pkg_add -u".
>How-To-Repeat:
(cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install && make package)
or
pkg_tarup pkg_install
>Fix:
Tweak something about how deletion of pkg_install is forbidden.
Not sure what.
