Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 20th Apr 2007 18:43 UTC, submitted by ghen
NetBSD The pkgsrc developers are very proud to announce the new pkgsrc-2007Q1 release. Pkgsrc is the primary package management system for NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD, but also supports AIX, BSD/OS, Darwin, FreeBSD, IRIX, Interix, Linux, OSF1, OpenBSD, and SunOS. Apart from a lot of new and updated packages, the infrastructure of pkgsrc itself has been improved for better platform and compiler support, and also for enhanced security.

Hi:

pkgsrc works like a charm on NetBSD and DragonFly systems, and, supports (with some problems) several different OSes.

Congratulations to the pkgsrc developers for the nice work!

SunOS?

Pardon me, but isn't SunOS now called Solaris? Minor issue, anyway.

At a Solaris 10 command prompt type "uname" and see what you get.

On an AMD64 machine you see

SunOS, x86 x86pc

instead of x86_64.

I do not know why you must compile your applications with -m64 option on gcc (in Solaris Express) if you want a 64 bits app. Other OSes in their 64 bits versions, take this as a default.

This guy wrote a patch to deal with this problem and provide a lot of apps on Solaris through pkgsrc:

You guys make installing applications a real joy! Thanks for the hard work and dedication.

I would also like to think David Brownlee for pkg_chk. Another great piece of work.
