my new favorite tool for netbsd. from the man page:

dfdisk is an utility that adds extra functionality to pkgsrc, allowing it
to fetch distfiles from multiple locations.  It currently supports the
following methods:

CD-ROM   The program manages a CD database where every disk is matched to
	a series of distfiles.  Whenever a distfile is requested, the
	program will check if it is known by the database and ask the
	user to place the needed disk in the drive.

Network  If a file is not found in the described database, the program
	fallbacks to the network, fetching the file from there (the
	usual method in pkgsrc).
