    Default pkg_* programs


    Why do pkg_* programs not have a option for changing top level directory
    like '-r' (or '--root') in rpm utility ?

    It'd be very useful and convenient. Jails would be checked for outdated
    (by status-pkg srcipt) or vulnerable (by portaudit) packages more simply
    with such options.

    Best regards,
    Alexey.

    Can't you do this with pkg_add -p and PKG_DBDIR?
