hi there,

i am making a homegrown backup script ("tar cvzf b.tgz /")
and i thoght that it would be nice to have a list of all the
installed packages if the worst happens. i know that it is
"ls /var/db/pkg" but it is good to have it in one file and
it is really easy to plug this in into the backup framework...
people who keep their daily/security mails archived may find
it nice to see how the packages were added and when.

        rm -f $file
 done

+# Make list of installed packages
+file=/var/backups/pkg_info
+CUR=$file.current
+BACK=$file.backup
+
+if pkg_info > $file 2>&1 ; then
+ if [ -s $CUR ] ; then
+ diff -u $CUR $file > $OUTPUT
+ if [ -s $OUTPUT ] ; then
+ echo "\n======\n${file} diffs (-OLD +NEW)\n======"
