+
+Please read the general README file as well.
+
+pkgsrc will install the portable NetBSD make as "bmake". The standard
+make(1) from MirBSD is incompatible with pkgsrc.
+
+Unless you bootstrap pkgsrc with the --unprivileged option, sudo(8) will
+be used to gain root privileges.
+
+MirPorts and pkgsrc can be installed in parallel. The MirPorts framework
+uses /usr/mpkg as its default prefix and /usr/mpkg/db/pkg as its package
+database directory. Thus, its paths do not clash with the default
+choices of pkgsrc, which are /usr/pkg and /var/db/pkg respectively. We
+suggest however that you place the package database for pkgsrc below its
+prefix, for example by specifying the
+
+	--pkgdbdir /usr/pkg/db
+
+option to bootstrap. Please note that the package tools from MirPorts
+and pkgsrc have the same names (e.g. pkg_add) but are incompatible. This
+leads to strage behavior when building or installing packages if both
+frameworks are in your PATH.
+
+Thus, before you start the bootstrap, you must make sure that
+/usr/mpkg/bin and /usr/mpkg/sbin are NOT in your PATH if MirPorts is
+already installed. Use a command like the following:
+
+	export PATH=${HOME}/.etc/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/games
+
+Other environment variables that you may want to set are MANPATH,
+INFOPATH and XAPPLRESDIR. There should be no need to set the
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
+
+The default mk.conf will be installed in /usr/pkg/etc.  It mirrors the
+values for CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS retrieved from the native
+make(1) at bootstrap time, instead of including /etc/make.cfg and the
+native <bsd.own.mk>. If you change values in /etc/make.cfg, you will
+also have to adjust the mk.conf used by bmake.
+
+The standard compiler is mgcc; if you have more than one native compiler
+installed (assuming all are GCC variants), export CC=gcc-1.2.3 before
+using pkgsrc and possibly adjust /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf accordingly.
