Package installation WHICHTO



Hello, everyone.

What is the effective, if any, difference between:
'pkg_add i3' (example) and
'pkgin up; pkgin in i3' ?

I get that pkgin is analogous to penguinista 'apt' or 'yum' -- but so is too pkg_add, as opposed to pkgsrc's ./configure, acceptable_licence, pkg_vulnerabilties, Stop. and friends.

Therefore, is either pkg_add or pkgin in the -preferred- or -recommended- way to go about things, all being equal? Or it doesn't matter either way?

Thanks.
