But, systems that haven't been updated along the branches they are running aren't going to have postinstall, and people who move to pkgsrc-2020Q4 need to run this more or less immediately. It seems like a lot of work to put this in postinstall in current pull it up to 8 and 9 tell everyone to update along 8 or 9 (or current) *before* they update pkgsrc or use 2020Q4 packages delay the branch for 2 weeks? more? to account for this It also seems like it doesn't fit, as the typical trigger for needing to run this is "new pkgsrc", not "base system was updated". Thanks to your pkg_install fix, base system updates no longer require explicit user action. Overall going for postinstall feels like much more work than "if you don't have pkgsrc checked out, download this script and run it."
