#
# Since pkgsrc is a quite large and complex software system, it
# sometimes isn't obvious what it is doing exactly. For that reason,
# there are some variables that control how much details are shown to
# the pkgsrc user.
#
# User-settable variables:
#
# PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL
# How verbose should pkgsrc be when running shell commands?
#
# * 0: don't show most shell commands.
# * 1: print the complete shell command to stdout before running
# it.
# * 2: like 1, but in addition, set the "-x" option of /bin/sh,
# so that every single command is printed to stderr before
# running it.
#
# PKG_VERBOSE
# When this variable is defined, pkgsrc gets a bit more verbose.
# This variable is largely independent from PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL.
#
# Default value: (undefined)
#
# XXX: Why are there _two_ variables doing similar things?
#
# Keywords: debug verbose
