I have never used pkg_admin's "set" and "unset" before.
Where can I find a list of all the choices?
And how I can list the current settings?
For some tests, I did:
$ sudo pkg_admin set junk=YES zlib-1.2.3
$ pkg_info -B zlib
...
Installed information:
junk=YES
$ pkg_info -Q junk zlib
YES
Maybe the pkg_admin man page can mention to use pkg_info for this? (Did I
do this correctly.)
