Subject: HEADS-UP: pkgsrc - USE_XPKGWEDGE now defaults to "yes"

Please note that the switch has been flicked, and that USE_PKGWEDGE
now defaults to "yes", rather than "no". This means that, by default,
all new packages will install into ${LOCALBASE}, leaving ${X11BASE}
untouched by package files. The prefix for existing packages should
still be found automatically by the pkgsrc software when it is being
built.
The xpkgwedge package's use is mandatory on a number of operating
systems, and is also necessary for package views.
We don't expect there to be any problems - some of us have been using
this setting for a long time now, both individually and in bulk builds
- but if there are any problems, please use send-pr in the normal way.
Thanks,
Alistair
