 I have NetBSD 2.0 and pkgsrc from the same release, I tried to update
 pkgsrc, but it cannot be used on NetBSD 2.0.  I will try to rewrite
 everything with options framework and will add some additions for
 the current pkgsrc, but I will not be able to test them.

 ipa-2.x is a completely rewritten program.  It got some ideas from
 the previous 1.x version.
 
 In ipa-1.x support for firewalls and database was implemented directly
 in source files.  ipa-2.x uses modules (accounting, database and
 statistic modules, like plugins) and inside its source files there
 is not any support for firewalls and databases, it simply work with
 statistics (it can be anything) and solve some of accounting related
 tasks.
 
 Right now there is not any accounting module, which can be used on
 NetBSD.  Nevertheless, there is database module ipa_sdb, which can be
 used on any Unix-like system and there is ipactl utility, which can
 provide statistics.
 
 Since ipa-2.x is a system independent program it can be used on any
 Unix-like system.

 Right now I cannot upgrade my system, so I use old pkgsrc, but
 the first problem looks strange, because "make install" recompiles
 some of source files (not all of them).
