That is for getting started with pkgsrc. That is for building and
installing bmake, pkg_* tools, mtree, ftp, etc.

The real pkgsrc is at pkgsrc.tar.gz (not "bootstrap") -- it is over ten
times bigger. It was last updated August 9th, I believe.

Have a look at
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html

(I use cvs to update my pkgsrc collection. But I don't see the examples
on that webpage.)
