+# McQuah's CRUX ports
+
+One of the strengths of the CRUX distribution is
+its unapologetic stance on weeding out unmaintained
+packages, which keeps the core installation
+extremely minimal. Even the contrib collection is
+not safe from these purges, as evidenced by the
+disappearance of such venerable utilities
+like netcat and ncdu. Although these packages are
+recoverable via the gitweb history, the preferred
+option is to let their advocates take over the
+maintenance in personal overlays. Here is my
+overlay---a mix of onetime-official ports (no longer
+in the official repositories, or forked with my own
+customizations) and custom ports that never had an
+official version.
+
+The build scripts in this collection mostly just
+copy the commands from other sources, including
+upstream, other CRUX ports, AUR, and VoidLinux.
+In most cases it would be too laborious to track down
+the original authors. But if you recognize your work
+and want your name on it, let me know!
+
+A few ports will generate signature mismatches if
+you use a version of pkgmk that lacks the feature
+for renaming tarballs. Once CRUX 3.7 is released and
+widely adopted, these errors should be a thing of
+the past.
