What do you mean? Does the tar bundle not work?
As far as I'm aware, import lets you import the files as is from a
tarball, but you can't, for example, use include to use your own custom
manifest and then have it look inside a tarball for the files. You
describe this below.
* a tool to dump a manifest from an import suitable for editing, etc.
I'm torn as to whether we could just add a '--dump' or the like
option to the 'import' subcommand of pkgsend or whether a separate
tool is more appropriate.
I had a "pkgsend -o" wad worked up some time ago, but was never convinced I
had it designed right. I think the dump should be part of pkgsend, but
it's not clear to me whether it should be a flag to open, import, close, or
some combination. Or even just another subcommand that does nothing but
dump a manifest representing a bundle, leaving you to open/include/close an
actual transaction (and requiring that include be able to pull files not
just from a directory tree, but from the original tarfile).
I can't decide between a subcommand or a "-o" to import either.
