Hi,

the bootstrap script for pkgsrc says at the end:

  An example mk.conf file "/tmp/bstrap/mk.conf.example" with the
  settings you provided to "bootstrap" has been created for you.
  Please copy /tmp/bstrap/mk.conf.example to /opt/pkg/etc/mk.conf.

Why is /opt/pkg/etc/ (aka sysconfdir) not created and the file copied
automatically?

The only reason I could think of is when the user specified a value for
--sysconfdir which is not below $LOCALBASE. Personally, I never did that
and would guess that most people accept the default value (/opt/pkg/etc/
above).

ciao
