this still leaves the binaries in the filesystem. since the standard
make wizardry does not include a "deinstall" target (like for example
ports do) and teh /usr/src based software does not have per-directory
mtree files or filelists (manifests) for installed files, removing the
software installed by a standard make installword becomes really messy
and not quite customizeable. the only alternative to this are the NO_*
options, but when you just do a quick install from release media, the
old binaries from the first installation will stay happily where they
are. i'm not much into netbsd, and i still prefer freebsd for my
everyday tasks, but the syspkg concept seems to make sense, though, at
first glance in cvs it appears to be quite complex.

btw, sendmail's make infrastructure on netbsd resides in the=20
gnusrc/gnu/sendmail tree ;-)
