Hi, all.

I was wondering... It would seem to me to make sense to distribute the
pkgsrc tarball with foo/CVS/Root set to

  :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot

This will be immediately useful to people, whereas the default, which
currently points to cvs.netbsd.org, is only going to be useful to people
who can fairly easily make the change anyway. It won't be correct for
everyone, but it'll be correct for more folks than cvs.netbsd.org...

I'm not sure how we generate the tarball, but I figure that the worst
case would involve unpacking somewhere, programmatically making the change,
and repacking.

I'd be happy to set this up if someone would point me in the right direction.
