Log Message:
Deprecate the pkgdb_dir settings from daily.conf and security.conf in
favor of the PKG_DBDIR variable in /etc/pkg_install.conf. The purpose
of this is to only have to define the location of the packages database
in a single place and have all other system components pick it up.
thanks for doing this! it has always bothered me.
pkgdb_dir is still honored if defined and the scripts will spit out a
warning in that case, asking the administrator to migrate to the
PKG_DBDIR setting. We can't remove this compatibility workaround until,
at least, after NetBSD 6 is released.
if we've decided to do this now, then after netbsd 7 is the time to
remove it. please make sure it is part of the new install notes..
.mrg.
