+# We need the functions in "packInstall.sh" when installing a package,
+# if package management is requested. Note that we have no way to know
+# whether package management is requested for a given build.
+# Furthermore, "sudo -E" exports varaubales, but not functions from
+# the environment, and sudo needs to be called before porg, due
+# to porg limitations. So we just export the location of the file
+# where the functions are dfined, and we'll source it just before
+# installing.
