<title>Complete (a.k.a. Fat) packages</title>
<desc>
<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a
href="mailto:brooks@FreeBSD.org">Brooks Davis</a></p>
<p>When bootstrapping systems it would be useful to be able to
create a single package file that contains on or more packages
and all the required dependent packages. This is conceptually
similar to, but different from PC-BSD's PBI package format.
PBI's contain a private copy of all dependencies, fat packages
would contain each individual package and once installed it would
be as though each package was individually installed in the usual
manner.</p>
<p>This project would consist of additions to the pkg_tools
to support creation and installation of a new package file format
and to ports to build these packages.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Strong knowledge of C code.</li>
<li>A basic understanding of the inner workings of the ports tree.</li>
</ul>
