I only have one little niggle with the package system (at this time that
is).
Basically, it doesn't work too well if the pkgsrc lives on a NFS file
system to which root doesn't have trusted access. The problem comes
during the install phase when the installer tries to create more files in
the build area -- these promptly fail unless world write access is enabled
because root isn't trusted.
