This is extremely helpful. I can use this to prune the Slackware 
packages I have currently, which is not too far off from what Martti has 
listed.

Thanks very much!

I read something recently about setting LOCALBASE=/usr for Linux. Is 
this as unwise as is reputed in NetBSD? Since so many "core" packages 
are in pkgsrc[-wip], it would be nice to have them installed at /usr 
rather than /usr/pkg.

Another thing that concerns me is the XFree packages. In NetBSD world, 
the X sets are part of the main distribution and not pkgsrc. This is 
nice because packages do not have XFree Packages as dependencies. They 
will just fail to run, I suppose (and will certainly fail to build).

If I have the latest X build from source, must I overwrite with pkgsrc 
packages for the benefit of other packages?
