<h3>Minor Notes</h3>
+<p><em>Never</em> run a configure script with the fake destdir. The software package may include that path somewhere, and once it is installed in the final destination things will break.</p>
+
<p>Port makefiles used to have to reproduce the steps of <code>pkg_add</code>, for example run pkg-install scripts or display a pkg-message. Makefiles should no longer do this.</p>
<p>Most of the sub-systems (for example the linux-rpm or python sub-systems) have been updated to work properly with fake. Some are not yet moved over however. If you encounter such a sub-system consult with the ctriv@ before committing any fix.</p>
