 	pkg_chk currently only works against local binary packages.

 	To handle remote URLs it would either need to index the remote
 	directory and run pkg_info against every package, or pregenerate
 	a list file to be uploaded with the packages (much more feasible).

 	Definitely something at which to look once the current issues have
 	been addressed.

 	Definitely. I'm trying to make sure pkg_chk can work in those
 	senarios first :)
