+If it is desired to store any patches that should not be committed into
+pkgsrc, they can be kept outside the pkgsrc tree in the $LOCALPATCHES
+directory. The directory tree there is expected to have the same
+"category/package" structure as pkgsrc, and patches are expected to be
+stored inside these dirs (also known as $LOCALPATCHES/$PKGPATH). For

+it in $LOCALPATCHES/graphics/png/mypatch. All files in the named directory
+are expected to be patch files, and they are applied after the "normal"
+pkgsrc patches are applied.
