Success!

I'm cross-posting as this is to enable me to use pkgsrc-wip on a PAUNIX 
system without root privileges.

The fact that's it's a lot faster than my home PC helps a lot too (proc and 
connection).

export MAKECONF=${HOME}/mk.conf

Here's my mk.conf:
SU_CMD= sh -c
PKG_DBDIR=${HOME}/pkg/db
LOCALBASE=${HOME}/pkg
BINGRP=arpa
ROOT_GROUP=arpa
BINOWN=poff
PKG_TOOLS_BIN=${HOME}/pkg/sbin
INSTALL_DATA=install -c -o poff -g arpa -m 444

Where poff is my username and arpa my group.

Without the last line I couldn't install man pages for digest, and for some 
other stuff too.

I just untar the bits of pkgsrc I need (mk,pkgtools,database/db) then cvs 
wip and get to work!

Thanks for your help,

P
