	Encyclopedia: Pkgsrc
		Pkgsrc is in a freeze to prepare for the 2005Q2 branch.
		Pkgsrc is a set of package descriptions and build instructions that is totally self-contained, and allows users to compile software from source or download and install binary packages from a consistent interface.
		Pkgsrc was designed from the ground up to include support for multiple operating systems and architectures, so it seemed a natural decision to join up with a team that was eager to cooperate and offer assistance.

	Pkgsrc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NetBSD package system, pkgsrc (package source), is a framework for building third-party software on NetBSD and other UNIX-like operating systems, based on a system of makefiles.
		pkgsrc has built-in support for handling dependencies on third-party libraries and other packages, such as pthreads or the X Window System, and extended features such as IPv6 support on a range of platforms.
		Since their 1.4 release, DragonFly BSD also uses pkgsrc as their official packaging system (announcement).

	NewsForge \| Pkgsrc Lecture to be at LinuxFest Northwest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Pkgsrc is originally based on the FreeBSD ports system and is similar to Gentoo Linux's package building and installation system.
		Pkgsrc is primarily maintained and developed by the NetBSD project.
		Pkgsrc can be used to install third-party or add-on software using consistent tools, configurations, and install locations in a diverse network.

	[No title]
		Pkgsrc can be used to deploy binary only packages from vendors and to build packages from source for any target architecture.
		Pkgsrc and its relatives on the other BSDs have been used for nearly a decade by thousands of developers to solve many of the deployment and configuration problems facing us today.
		There is a high degree of synergy between pkgsrc and autoconf, because large parts of pkgsrc were developed to assist in installation of software products developed under autoconf.

	Using the NetBSD Packages Collection (pkgsrc) on DragonFlyBSD \| goBSD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Another technical advantage gained by using pkgsrc is the ability to have binary packages that are signed by the distributer.
		Since pkgsrc was built from the ground up to be available on a wide range of systems, porting it to DragonFly-ia32 was a simple process.
		The top level of pkgsrc is a directory structure to sort packages into categories, and every second level directory is an actual package.

	[No title]
		Pkgsrc provides customizable configuration locations (software can be built to install and use configurations where you want them).
		Pkgsrc does not overwrite configurations on package installations (and default configurations also available in examples directory).
		Pkgsrc is a mature project with constant development since 1997.

	pkgsrc.se \| The NetBSD package collection
		pkgsrc, a portable packaging system available for several platforms, continues to grow and thus pkgsrc.NetBSD.SE has been improved in order to support and promote the continued work on the project.
		The data for pkgsrc and wip has been reinserted, and the nightly updates will be running.
		Due to a database failure(max_connection) the nightly update made pkgsrc database corrupt, this is however fixed now and if you se broken pkgs please report them.

	pkgsrc on DragonFly \| goBSD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The entire pkgsrc repository is contained in a single directory, and makes no absolute directory references.
		I'm not suggesting that pkgsrc is the end-all-be-all of packaging systems, but I think it will be the most beneficial start.
		Since pkgsrc uses a make system very similar to ports, most developers will feel immediately at home, and be able to develop quickly and make great progress on our platform.

	pkgsrc - The NetBSD packages collection
		pkgsrc was originally developed for NetBSD, but now also has support for other platforms.
		This should work fine, though since pkgsrc is being continually updated it is usually preferable to download the most recent copy from the 'Net.
		You can then see what packages are available, along with a short (one-line) comment about the function of the package, and a pointer to a fuller description, by using a browser like lynx (see pkgsrc/www/lynx) or something like Mozilla (pkgsrc/www/mozilla), or communicator.

	jmmv: pkgsrc: Linux distributions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As you may already know, pkgsrc is a packaging system that works on many different operating systems — not just NetBSD.
		pkgsrc will work fine on most Linux distributions, but IMHO, there are some that are more pkgsrc-friendlier than others (basically because their original packaging system may be limited).
		First of all, there is (or was, since the homepage seems to be dead) Bluewall GNU/Linux, which claimed to be a distribution including pkgsrc as its default packaging system.

	BSDFreak
		The pkgsrc developers are very proud to announce the new pkgsrc-2005Q1 branch, which has support for more packages than previous branches.
		As well as updated versions of many packages, the infrastructure of pkgsrc itself has been improved for better platform and compiler support, and also for enhanced security.
		NetBSD, on all its supported architectures, is considered to be one pkgsrc platform.

	PKGSRC Package Source
		Restrictions ------------ The PKGSRC tool uses a convention that must be followed for the tool to be successful.
		The success of automating the re-making of your changes to a new version is highly dependent on what the vendor does to the source and what you bracketed.
		The PKGSRC tool is not a perfect solution, but if used correctly, you should be able to automate most of the re-making of changes.

	BootBlog: UNIX/Linux commentary and help -- especially OpenSolaris
		Pkgsrc's base configuration file for Solaris (...pkgsrc/mk/platform/SunOS.mk) specifies that, for compatibility reasons, the /usr/xpg4 versions of certain Sun commands must be used if bootstrapping or compiling happens to call upon them.
		However, another common method for bringing up a pkgsrc build system is to employ a base binary "bootstrap kit".
		Although pkgsrc and portage (by gentoo.org) are often referred to as "from-source" distros, they have full support for binary package management as well (installing, updating, etc.).

	BootBlog: UNIX/Linux commentary and help -- especially OpenSolaris
		One of the most interesting and clear differentiators of pkgsrc is their philosophy of targeting multiple OS's.
		Solaris-specific documentation provided by the Pkgsrc team, and the rest I was able to figure out on my own, mostly by trial and error.
		Pkgsrc enables you to deploy and manage a custom set of open-source software derived, not from a binary distro (like our Companion CD), but directly from the master sites.

	pkgsrc: The NetBSD Packages Collection
		At the end of November pkgsrc contained 5737 packages, an increase of 80 new packages from the previous month.
		The installation prefix, acceptable software licenses, international encryption requirements and build-time options for a large number of packages are all set in a simple, central configuration file.
		pkgsrc consists of both a Source distribution and a Binary distribution for these operating systems.

	Chapter 2. Using pkgsrc on systems other than NetBSD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Binary packages for the pkgsrc tools and an initial set of packages is available for supported platforms.
		There are two methods of using pkgsrc on Mac OS X, by using a disk image, or a UFS partition.
		You cannot use a HFS+ file system for pkgsrc, because pkgsrc currently requires the filesystem to be case-sensitive, and HFS+ is not.

	Solaris Central - 2291 Solaris 9/sparc binary packages ready via pkgsrc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Jonathan Perkin has uploaded 2.291 binary packages created from the latest stable pkgsrc branch (2005Q2) for Solaris 9/sparc.
		To use the binary packages, pkgsrc needs to be bootstr apped (or a binary bootstrap kit installed), and the pkgs can be installed with the pkg_add command then.
		Personally, I love using pkgsrc on Solaris 9/x86, and it gave me many nice things like Firefox via a simple "cd pkgsrc/www/firefox ; bmake install".

	Slackware Linux with pkgsrc Packages
		Like the NetBSD system itself, pkgsrc is a portable framework for building third-party software on NetBSD and other UNIX-like systems This article describes how to make a minimalistic Slackware Linux installation and install most of the user applications like Mozilla and XFce from the pkgsrc.
		The pkgsrc bootstrap kit installs the NetBSD ftp client which is much nicer to use than the standard Slackware ftp client.
		The reader is instructed to look at the pkgsrc documentation.

	CVS log for pkgsrc/net/ethereal/Makefile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Currently, this includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of the package is preferred.
		The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc.
		The builtin.mk file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.

	Screaming Electron Forums - pkgsrc configuration
		pkgsrc consistently uses ${LOCALBASE} to refer to this directory throughout its Makefiles.
		I'm also running pkgsrc on Irix so I also have /usr/pkg on my system too.
		Just to clarify what the documentation page says, you are free to set LOCALBASE to whatever you wish if you intend to build all of your packages from pkgsrc.

	Bootstrapping pkgsrc on x86 Solaris 9
		Even in its present rapidly-evolving state, NetBSD's pkgsrc system is an important toolset for dealing with configuration management on a large network of servers.
		The goal was to create a server on which all software other than the OS is tracked with pkgsrc, including free software, software from outside vendors, and programs developed in house.
		Grab a snapshot of pkgsrc (I used sup on FreeBSD).

	jmmv: pkgsrc's strengths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This worst thing to me about pkgsrc is that the patches rarely seem to get feed back to the programs maintainers like they used to.
		There are lots of little patches in pkgsrc that really should have been folded back to the programs.
		This used to happen more often, now I find on machines I do not want to use the pkgsrc kitchen sink approach it is taking more work then ever before to build things when not using pkgsrc.

	ONLamp.com: Lightweight Web Serving with thttpd
		However, please note that you don't have to use NetBSD to use pkgsrc, so all the examples given here can apply to other systems with few hassles; otherwise, use your packaging system of choice to get thttpd.
		Focusing on pkgsrc, there are two ways to install thttpd: from sources or from binaries.
		Sources are appropriate if you do not want to use the default settings, you want to configure the build (perhaps with optimization flags), or you need thttpd on a system for which there are no binary packages.
