builds.
2006-01-11Added a README file that describes where to get some basic informationrillig1-0/+7

2005-12-29Correct section title (copy and paste error).jlam1-2/+2
2005-12-29Update the pkgsrc guide to reflect the following changes to the pkginstalljlam2-16/+50
framework: * USE_PKGINSTALL is no longer needed. * X11 font directories should be listed in FONTS_DIRS.<type> * fonts.mk is no longer needed as the functionality has been completely reimplemented within the pkginstall framework. * PKG_UPDATE_FONTS_DB may be set to "yes" or "no" to indicate whether the fonts databases should be updated or not. This defaults to "yes".

overridden in a user's mk.conf file.
2005-12-02Don't encourage users to abuse the patch framework for installingrillig1-8/+5
pkgsrc-specific files into ${WRKSRC}. I've lately seen too many patches against /dev/null that contain RCS Ids.
2005-11-29Reordered the configuration files for bulk builds. Since therillig1-16/+20
build.conf file contains a setting for choosing another mk.conf file, it should come first. Updated the wording of the text.
2005-11-28Change all instances of including mk/ghostscript.mk into asking forjlam1-3/+6
the appropriate tool via USE_TOOLS (usually "gs:run"), and remove ghostscript.mk. This change removes a rather out-dated file from pkgsrc and switches packages to use the more compact implementation of the Ghostcript-handling inside the tools framework.
