freebsd stable - Sep 2014 - Forcing pkg

Hello,

a second pkg question:

Assume I have to install something *now*, like in: 5 minutes ago,  
production on fire,
never mind corrupt pkg databases or anything, sort out later, need service  
up:

Is there any equivalent to "pkg_add --force"?

As in, *I* know the dependencies are met, and I *know* that pkg is wrong  
in complaining?

-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS doesn't work anymore?

According to the pkg-add(8) manpage, the -M switch seems to be what you're
looking for.

Or, I want to install pkg A, but it relies on pkgs B, C, D,...
I only want to use a single program in pkg A that I "know" has
no dependencies and really don't want to pull in anything else.

Hi!

cd /tmp
mkdir tempdir
cd tempdir
tar xf mypkg.txz

and move those extracted stuff to the place where it's needed.
