Documentation quality of pkgsrc



Hej,

I worked alot with pkgsrc the last time and tried to improve some of the
mechanisms for building packages (well at least for me and the one I
provided on http://sunpkg.de). pkgsrc has changed alot over the past
months and not everything is documented in the user guide.

For example:

The documentation didn't mention the scripts mkbinarykit or
mkbootstrapkit - do you know what they are for? (yes, I know it -
thanks)

This is a very easy example, the sandbox scripts might be a good
example, too, however the mksandbox script is mentioned in the
documentation. There is no description on updating your packages in a
practical way, etc.

What I think is that the pkgsrc documentation/user guide should be
improved - are there any ideas about this? Actually I really would like
to volunteer for a small "project" - maybe something like a docathon.

This would lead to further questions - what is the source of the user
guide, where can it be found, etc..

Any feedback?

Regards
Uli
