Hi,

The details for subscribing for the new list are up on the NetBSD.org
site, along with all the other mailing list details:

http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/#pkgsrc-users

In answer to your question

PKG_OPTIONS.rt=	pgsql modperl1

Should do the trick.  The .frontend and .backend are just group names
and AFAIK shouldn't need to be directly accessed by you.  The foo:bar
notation is just internal options.mk notation for migration of old options.

The _GROUP directive is just to ensure that a user selects one of a
number of options when building the package.

You will be able to find some more documentation on this here:

adrian.
