    5 Description:
    6 ------------
    7 prt-get is a utility which is meant to be used with the pkgutils and
    8 ports from crux (http://crux.nu). It offers some simplification over
    9 pure pkgmk, but might hide some interesting details about the install
   10 process.

   12 Installing:
   13 -----------
   14 Just install the crux port from
   15 - http://www.hta-bi.bfh.ch/~winkj/files/crux/prt-get.prt.gz
   16 
   17 prt-get has to know where to look for ports. You can specify those in
   18 /etc/prt-get.conf, one directory per line. Note that the order
   19 matters, when the same port is in multiple direcories
   20 (e.g. /usr/ports/contrib/mutt and /usr/ports/local/mutt), the one
   21 found _first_ will be used.

   27 ----------------
   28 See the man pages for prt-get(8), prt-get.conf(5) and prt-cache for more
   29 information. There is also a user manual in the doc directory (as a
   30 tex file). This document should also be available as PDF from
   31 http://www.hta-bi.bfh.ch/~winkj/files/crux/manual.pdf

   33 "it must be user error" (thinkgeek)
   34 -----------------------------------
   35 
   36 port directories may only contain ports, or else prt-get can fail (which
   37 means that nothing is installed, your system takes no harm). The reason
   38 for this is because the additional checking slows down the application
   39 too much
