NetBSD does link to pkgsrc.7 to packages.7 since October.\ > packages(7) doesn't explain how to install pkgsrc for building from > source which is what I think is needed here.

Definitely if almost word for word then license is wrong.

I don't know if it is worth keeping this documentation in sync. Maybe just have DragonFly install pkgsrc.txt and have the pkgsrc.7 be a link to packages.7 that gives path to documentation (pkgsrc.txt) in the SEE ALSO. Maybe even install just /usr/pkg/doc/pkgsrc.txt ? Jeremy C. Reed
