If it's strictly local why bother? Just "make replace" or remove the

when the user doesn't realize that a change has been made e.g. when
running pkg_rolling-replace.
By local I mean not committed to pkgsrc. The built packages are used by
customers' machines, so the change needs to be noticed by them.
Yes, I understood that. And now I understand the child server
requirement. I just wonder if making local mods in a CVS tree as a
matter of course is the cleanest method. Of course I don't know your
actual situation so I can't really say. From this discussion it sounds
like you regularly need to modify packages after they have been
installed elsewhere and that it happens often enough (or you have too
many child servers) to be able to handle each change manually.
What kind of modifications are you making that don't warrant an update
to pkgsrc itself?
