Technically, we're OK now - the 2.6 build of pkgsrc-2009Q4 packages is
already done, from df.v12.su:

http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-2.6/pkgsrc-2009Q4/All/

Since pkgsrc-2009Q4 for 2.4.1 was already built on that machine before the
2.6 update, any of the packages that were unchanged were fine, so it was
able to go with those.  They'll cause the annoying "warning: built on
DragonFly version X even though you are on DragonFly version Y" warning,
but they should be just fine; we didn't do anything to break binary
compatibility between 2.4 and 2.6 as I recall.
