pkgsrc-2006Q4 Branched

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 8th Jan 2007 15:14 UTC, submitted by Jan Schaumann

The pkgsrc developers are proud to announce the new pkgsrc-2006Q4 branch. At the same time, the pkgsrc-2006Q3 branch has been deprecated, and continuing engineering starts on the pkgsrc-2006Q4 branch. The NetBSD Packages Collection is a framework for building third-party software on NetBSD and other UNIX-like systems, currently containing over 6400 packages. It is used to enable freely available software to be configured and built easily on supported platforms. Please see the detailed pkgsrc-2006Q4 announcement in Alistair Crooks's email to the pkgsrc-users m-l for more information.

...and I did not even know that Opera was included in pkgsrc! Nice to see the major apps so up-to-date. The part of the email that mentioned what distros pkgsrc supported reminded me that we have not heard much from DragonflyBSD. Must go check site.

I'm glad to see a package solution progressing for NetBSD. I haven't used NetBSD in a very long time, but if I recall correctly, this is something it was in desparate need of.
