The whole pkg_comp thing, once understood, is cool and does work well... But the road to understanding is paved with the corpses of dragons...Not to mention we don't even document the procedure... The "how I learned to stop worrying and build pkgsrc in a chroot" document is an external link that is a 404... How pathetic is that?
Thats pretty lame. I found a copy via the waybackmachine. I've
emailed the author asking if he would mind it being added to
the NetBSD documentation.

Alternatively, does anyone have a reference to a good howto on
using pkg_comp, or better still some suggested text to add to the
pkgsrc guide?
