I'll try pkgin again with the next stable branch, when I'll have a real
update task again. I tried it this time, but not with much success. I
didn't keep detailed logs though so I can't give you a proper bug report
:-(. What generally happened was that some packages were updated but not
all. For instance, firefox was updated but not sqlite3, which it
depends on. I was already wondering why it was done so much quicker than
pkg_chk, which I normally use!

Maybe I did something wrong. One thing that I could not find was how to
make the pkg_summary.bz file; I guessed that I had to "pkg_info -X * |
bzip2 > pkg_summary.bz2" in the All/ directory with packages.

For a repository with a file:// URL, the download step can be skipped, I
think.
