I thought I'd look into what would be required to have my utility hook
into the official one, for installing packages.
So I tried a truss on "pkg install pkg://localpublisher/localpkg", and
looked at the results.
It does over 1600 open() calls. (taking 29 seconds of real time)
"only" 592 of the open calls are python related.
This is for a package whose sole purpose is to deliver *one* file.
To put it diplomatically, seems like there is "room for improvement" there.
I'm guessing, this is due to over-dependence on "call the existing
support library functions", without ever going back to analyze what that
library is actually doing.
Maybe it's time to do that?
