I am reluctant to install from a "DESTDIR" using "build.sh" on a
running system, because I have the impression from the docs that
this would overwrite things in /etc and elsewhere, unlike the
old "make install" from /usr/src.
The build.sh install target does not write into /etc, just the rest of
the system. That's the normal way to do an in-place from source
upgrade. usual warning about updating kernel first, of course.
Also, you might find pkgsrc/sysutils/etcmanage of interest.
