+Staged installation is default [asau 2012-08-14]
+ pkgsrc has changed to use unprivileged staged installation by default.
+ This makes it possible to prevent some installation mistakes.
+ It also makes detection of package conflicts easier.
+ Previously you had to set PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT to "user-destdir"
+ to invoke this functionality. Set PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT to "none"
+ to revert to direct installation.
