[HEADS UP] pkg_install update - updated instructions



Hi!

Here are the latest instructions on how to update your pkg_install
installation on NetBSD.

If you are running NetBSD-current after Dec 5 or the NetBSD-8 or
NetBSD-9 stable branches after Dec 8:

	 cd /usr/pkgsrc && cvs update -dP
	 mv /var/db/pkg /usr/pkg/pkgdb
	 mv /var/db/pkg.refcount /usr/pkg/pkgdb.refcount

If you have the pkg_install package installed ("pkg_info -e
pkg_install" will tell you), update it (see below).

On other NetBSD versions:

   	 cd /usr/pkgsrc && cvs update -dP
         echo "PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg/pkgdb" >> /etc/pkg_install.conf
	 mv /var/db/pkg /usr/pkg/pkgdb
	 mv /var/db/pkg.refcount /usr/pkg/pkgdb.refcount
	 # and update pkg_install
	 pkg_delete -ff pkg_install # this may fail if you did not have it installed
	 cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install
	 make clean
	 make USE_CWRAPPERS=no install

If you have pkgin installed, update the package.  There are no special
instructions needed on how to update pkgin, install a new binary
package or run 'make update' or 'make replace'.

Let me know if there are any issues when you follow these
instructions.

Thanks,
 Thomas
