Where is pkgsrc documented for telling the user that they need to update
certain things to use it (after updating via CVS)?

I have been following this digest thread for a few days.

Today, I tried building audio/vorbis and I received:

rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/audio/vorbis$ make

Stop.

(I am using 1.5.1_ALPHA under i386.)

$ ident ../../pkgtools/digest/Makefile 
../../pkgtools/digest/Makefile:
     $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.3 2001/03/07 07:43:00 tron Exp $

So I updated my pkgsrc (via anoncvs).

$ ident ../../pkgtools/digest/Makefile
../../pkgtools/digest/Makefile:
     $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.4 2001/03/07 23:03:19 kim Exp $

But I received the same "undefined reference to `RMD160..." errors.

As far as I know, there is not a current (development) tree and a stable
tree for pkgsrc. Why would the pkgsrc tree be available if it doesn't
work? (Can we have a development/testing tree for pkgsrc?)

I think that the documentation at
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html needs to be
updated to explain to the pkgsrc user what they really need to do to use
it. Or maybe a paragraph can be added to the "Problems compiling
packages" section.

(Should I send-pr this?)
