Well, where can I learn the most possible standard actions and settable=20
parameters on the package system? I looked at the "Complete Documentation=
" of=20
the package system on the netbsd.org site, but it only briefly describes =
what=20
can be done or set. For example, make targets like reinstall, update and =
such=20
aren't mentioned at all.=20

It mentions a target of "package", which is supposed to build a binary pa=
ckage=20
tarball out of a (installed) package. Well, I tried this on x11/kde3 (whi=
ch=20
is already built and installed on my system), and I got this:

[root@baromfi:/usr/pkgsrc/x11/kde3 | 06/19 21:57:50]

*** If so, you may wish to ``pkg_delete kde-3.0.1'' and install
*** this package again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly,
*** or use ``make update'' to upgrade it and all of its dependencies.
*** If you really wish to overwrite the old package of kde-3.0.1
*** without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
*** in your environment or the "make install" command line.

Stop.

Is "make package" supposed to work recursively on required packages at al=
l?=20
And if yes (or if no) what is it supposed to do on a meta-package like kd=
e3?
