"Robert V. Baron" sez:
/*
 * What I'd like to suggest is that we/you go back to absolute path names
 * and root the tree at /usr/pkgsrc.  The base tgz would populate it.
 * And you would release periodic upgrades for mk,pkg_* independent of 
 * the base system and synchronized with the package system.  I think
 * that the package system itself then can be placed anywhere in the source
 * tree.  (Now using absolute pathnames to the mk and package stuff.)

Er, no, please don't do that.  It introduces Yet Another Silly Symlink.

Isn't there a way to put something in, say /etc/mk.conf to counter
the undesired side effect you described...?

Are you being infected by a UNIX virus?  If you're receiving OS shipments
from your vendor, you may be subjecting your computer to the worst virus
in history: SVR4.  There is a cure for this virus:  upgrade to NetBSD
(now running on a platform near you).
