and make unset insted of NO to produce warnings, so that setting it to NO does
produce warnings (if it is inappropriate for the machine to warn about this).
This code has been developed by Abhinav Upadhyay as part of Google's Summer
of Code 2011. It uses libmandoc to parse man pages and builds a Full
Text Index in a SQLite database. The combination of indexing the full
manual page, filtering out stop words and ranking individual matches
based on the section gives a much improved user experience.
The old makewhatis and friends are kept under MKMAKEMANDB=no for now.
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.
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.
value when packages are found (so that the user knows he is not getting the
vulnerability checks).
Why? People is complaining. (And somehow, the argument that NetBSD doesn't
do any network operation by default convinces me that it should continue to
do so.)
But still, I will be adding a question to sysinst to enable/disable this.

file from the server if it has changed since the last run.
Add the check_pkg_vulnerabilities and check_pkg_signatures options to the
security script to check that the installed packages are sane.
All of these options are enabled by default but they will only run if
there is, at least, one installed package.

uses /etc/default for another purpose. as discussed on tech-userlevel,
