Awesome news and great examples.

Will you abstract this so SQL is not needed?

Have it check for available or wrong PROVIDES/REQUIRES shared libraries 
as recorded in pkg_summary(5) before downloading packages? (Comparing 
currently installed and upcoming updates/installs.)

Have it check for available disk space as record in pkg_summary (SIZE_PKG 
+ FILE_SIZE) before downloading packages? (If upgrading, subtracting old 
too.)

I will add simple support for pkg_summary(5) to record changed 
PKGNAME (or changed PKGPATH).

Be able to potentially use multiple package repositories (multiple 
pkg_summaries)?

What does "dry" mean in your software name?

How can I checkout the source? (I assume I can point some tool to that 
URL, so I don't have to grab each file manually.)

Also please look at ideas in "available commands":

  nroff -mandoc /usr/pkgsrc/wip/pkg_get/files/pkg_get.1 | less
