+The pkgsrc-2006Q1 Branch
+========================
+ 
+The pkgsrc developers are very proud to announce the new pkgsrc-2006Q1
+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.
+ 
+At the same time, the pkgsrc-2005Q4 branch has been deprecated, and
+continuing engineering starts on the pkgsrc-2006Q1 branch.
+ 
+Some highlights of the new pkgsrc-2006Q1 branch are:
+ 
++ many, many packages have been updated to newer versions, to take
+advantage of fixes and improved functionality.  This includes
+ 
+	+ firefox-1.5.0.1
+	+ gnome-2.12.2
+	+ kde-3.5.1
+	+ opera-8.52
+	+ perl-5.8.7
+	+ postgresql 8.1.3
+	+ thunderbird-1.5
+	+ X.org 6.9
+	+ the addition of some pertinent bright, shiny packages such
+	  as apache-tomcat-5.5.14, cdrtools, nagios, qt4, strace,
+	  sunbird, and suse 10 packages better to support Linux
+	  emulation. 
+	+ a considerable number of fixes for much better DragonFly BSD
+	  operation, which will also benefit a lot of pkgsrc platforms,
+	  with thanks to Joerg Sonnenberger
+ 
+The full list of platforms supported by pkgsrc is:  AIX, BSD/OS,
+Darwin (Mac OS X), DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, IRIX, Interix, Linux, NetBSD,
+OSF1, OpenBSD, SunOS (Solaris), and UnixWare.  We would like to add
+support for more - please get in touch if you, too, are interested.
+ 
++ following DragonFly BSD's adoption of pkgsrc as their packaging
+system, Joerg Sonnenberger has made a lot of changes, which include a
+number of modifications for packages which use POSIX threading
+libraries, and also enhanced support for gcc 3.4 and above
+ 
++ a number of changes in pkgsrc's infrastructure have been introduced,
+including improvements in the PLIST handling, the ongoing work to
+validate PLISTs automatically, especially during bulk builds, and the
+improvements in the pkginstall framework, most noticably
+font-handling.
+ 
++ continuing engineering on the "stable" branches of pkgsrc has been
+much improved, and our thanks to the pkgsrc releng team for all the
+hard work they do in sanity checking pullup requests, and managing
+the stable branches in pkgsrc
+ 
++ constant bulk building on a number of platforms has improved our
+ability to identify potential areas of concern, and to correct them
+sooner.  It has also improved our ability to make binary packages
+available, and we are working on ways to improve this further.  For
+more information, please refer to the pkgsrc-bulk mailing list,
+archives available at
+ 
+	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/
+ 
++ the number of packages has been increased to 5943; the number of
+supported platforms continues to be 13.  NetBSD, on all its supported
+architectures, is considered to be one pkgsrc platform.
+ 
+As always, we'd like to encourage users of the packages collection to
+install and run pkgsrc/security/audit-packages at least every day -
+this will provide notification of any packages which are vulnerable
+to exploit.
+ 
+We'd also really appreciate it if people would install the
+pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgsurvey package, and then run the pkgsurvey script
+for us.  This will forward us a list of the packages installed on that
+machine, and the operating system and release level of the operating
+system.  The results will be kept confidential, but the output will
+help us analyse the packages that are most used.
+ 
+The source tar files for the new branch can be found at:

+The pkgsrc-2008Q3 Branch
+========================
+ 
+The pkgsrc developers are very proud to announce the new pkgsrc-2008Q3
+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.
+ 
+At the same time, the pkgsrc-2008Q2 branch has been deprecated, and
+continuing engineering starts on the pkgsrc-2008Q3 branch.
+ 
+With more than ten years of pkgsrc development behind us, we would
+like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people who have made
+pkgsrc the most portable packaging system in the world - to all of the
+users, developers and supporters a very large "Thank you" from all of
+us.
+ 
+Some highlights of the new pkgsrc-2008Q3 branch are:
+ 
++ a new ruby gems framework, from Stoned Elipot and Johnny Lam
++ many more packages have been moved to install into a staging directory -
+the DESTDIR work that Joerg Sonnenberger has done almost singlehandedly
++ many, many packages have been updated to newer versions, to take
+advantage of fixes and improved functionality.  The following versions
+of packages are included in the pkgsrc-2008Q3 branch:
+ 
+	+ apache-2.2.9
+	+ firefox-2.0.0.17 and firefox-3.0.3
+	+ gnome-2.22.3
+	+ kde-3.5.10
+	+ mysql-5.0.67
+	+ openoffice-2.4.1nb3
+	+ opera-9.52
+	+ postgresql-8.3.3
+	+ python-2.5.2nb4
+	+ ruby-1.8.7.22
+	+ samba-3.0.32
+	+ seamonkey-1.1.12
+	+ wireshark-1.0.3
+	+ zope-3.3.1
+ 
++ other notable changes include
+	+ Steve Bellovin has updated the claws email suite
+	+ Stoned Elipot and Havard Eidnes have made it their personal
+	  goal to incorporate all the CPAN packages into pkgsrc
+	+ thanks to Matthias Drochner for keeping on top of all the
+	  gnome packages, and to Mark Davies for our kde packages
+	+ video support has been vastly enhanced-- NetBSD-current now
+	  has support for some video devices, and Jared Mcneill has
+	  added and extended quite a few packages for that (libv4l,
+	  unicap, cheese, ucview, opal, ekiga, tvtime; extended
+	  mplayer, gst-plugins0.10-good).
+	+ the addition of some interesting, pertinent, and shiny
+	  packages such as ampache, bzrtools, cheese, cvsutils,
+	  dbeacon, ddrescue, diskscrub, docker, drill, emutos, enma,
+	  fs-utils, gtkimageview, hunspell packages, iwn-firmware,
+	  jdbc-postgresql83, ldns, libmtp, libslang2, libv4l,
+	  loggerhead, lzmalib, mico, mnemosyne, nipper, openaxiom,
+	  otf2bdf, p5-Catalyst packages, p5-Perl6-Junction, py-babel,
+	  py-pygments, rrdtool12, sqlsharpgtk, squid3, sshfp, tdl,
+	  tvtime, typolight and typo3, xapian, xentools33, and xlt
+ 
+The list of platforms supported by pkgsrc is AIX, BSD/OS, Darwin (Mac
+OS X), DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, HP/UX, IRIX, Interix, Linux, NetBSD,
+OSF1, OpenBSD, QNX and SunOS (Solaris).  We are aware that support for
+some platforms is at a more mature stage than others, and would like
+to encourage feedback from users and developers on our more esoteric
+platforms.
+ 
++ continuing engineering on the "stable" branches of pkgsrc has been
+revitalised, and our release engineering team has done a marvellous
+job in pulling up changes to the stable branch.  Our thanks go to them
+for all the hard work they do in sanity checking pullup requests, and
+managing the stable branches in pkgsrc.
+ 
++ constant bulk building on a number of platforms has improved our
+ability to identify potential areas of concern, and to correct them
+sooner.  It has also improved our ability to make binary packages
+available, and we are working on ways to improve this further.  For
+more information, please refer to the pkgsrc-bulk mailing list,
+archives available at
+ 
+	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/
+ 
++ the number of packages has been increased to 7995; the number of
+supported platforms is currently 14, with another one on the horizon. 
+NetBSD, on all its supported architectures, is considered to be one
+pkgsrc platform.
+ 
+As always, we'd like to encourage users of the packages collection to
+audit-packages at least every day - this will provide notification of
+any packages which are vulnerable to exploit.  Audit-packages is now
+part of the new pkg_install tools, and is now much quicker.  We have
+removed the old audit-packages package in this pkgsrc release. 
+Recently Tonnerre Lombard has joined the pkgsrc-security team, and has
+made a lot of additions to the list of vulnerable packages - a very
+useful and thorough job - we are grateful to him.  The pkgsrc-security
+team do a marvellous job in tracking notifications of vulnerabilities
+in packages, and disseminating this information, and our sincere
+thanks go to them for this essential work.
+ 
+We'd also really appreciate it if people would install the
+pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgsurvey package, and then run the pkgsurvey script
+for us.  This will forward us a list of the packages installed on that
+machine, and the operating system and release level of the operating
+system.  The results will be kept confidential, but the output will
+help us analyse the packages that are most used.
+ 
+The source tar files for the new branch can be found at:

+ 
+Some highlights of the new pkgsrc-2008Q4 branch are:
+ 
++ Jared McNeill has introduced pulseaudio to pkgsrc, which is a huge
+boost, giving pkgsrc the benefits of one of the best audio systems
++ our GNOME packages have been updated by Thomas Klausner, and much
+work has been done on the HAL layer within GNOME by Jared McNeill.  We

+	+ we bid a fond thanks, and farewell, to some old favourites,
+	  such as python 1.5, nail, bidwatcher, jssi, jsdk20, grail,
+	  and zope-2.5
+	+ the perl package has been upgraded to version 5.10 - a
+	  side effect of this is that binary packages of perl modules
+	  made with perl-5.8 and earlier versions are incompatible
+	  with perl-5.10
+	+ the addition of some interesting, pertinent, and shiny

+The pkgsrc-2009Q3 Branch
+========================
+ 
+The pkgsrc developers are happy to announce the new pkgsrc-2009Q3
+branch, which has support for even more packages than previous
+branches.  As well as updated versions of many packages, the
+infrastructure of pkgsrc itself has been improved for better platform

+ 
+Some highlights of the new pkgsrc-2009Q3 branch are:
+ 
++ the pkg_install infrastructure has been updated again
++ kde4 is available in pkgsrc for the very first time
++ Matthias Scheler has provided initial support for Mac OS X Snow Leopard 
++ many, many packages have been updated to newer versions, to take
+  advantage of fixes and improved functionality.  The following
+  versions of packages are included in the pkgsrc-2009Q3 branch:
+ 
+	+ apache-2.2.13nb3
+	+ firefox-3.5.3
+	+ git-1.6.4

++ MirBSD support was added to pkgsrc; see

++ We're aiming to make this the last branch to support non-DESTDIR packages.
+  We have almost finished the transition to DESTDIR installation, where
+  a staging directory is used to make a binary package, which is then
+  managed by the pkg_install tools.
++ GNOME has been mostly updated to version 2.32.0, KDE4 to 4.5.5.
++ The conversion from the last teTeX distribution to texlive
+  (currently 2010) is still in progress.
++ png was updated to the newest stable 1.5 branch.
++ Some packages still using GTK 1 were removed; we're in the process
+  of fading out support for it.
++ Modern ada packages were added, like gnat-aux
++ Other notable changes include
+	+ We bid a fond thanks, and farewell, to some old favourites,
+	  mostly gtk1 users.
+	+ The addition of some interesting, pertinent, and shiny
+	  packages such as window (:-) - brought over from NetBSD's
+	  src archive), many tex packages, most gmpc plugins.
+	+ Notable updates to packages such as roundcube, tmux,
+	  shotwell, jpeg, png, gbrainy, ikiwiki, scmgit, opera, xchm,
+	  nmap, sqlite3, finch/pidgin, dovecot2, mercurial, unrar,
+	  clamav, ntop, xz, many many ruby packages, lots of Linux

+pkgsrc-2012Q2
+=============
+ 
+The pkgsrc team is proud to announce the availability of the
+pkgsrc-2012Q2 branch.  There are many new packages, and some bug
+fixes.  Much work has gone into making packages build with clang (as
+well as different versions of gcc), and pkgsrc actively maintains
+packages, removing unused or abandoned packages, while still adding
+new ones. For pkgsrc-2012Q2, more than 100 X11 packages have been
+updated.
+ 
+Numbers of Packages
+===================
+ 
+In pkgsrc, there are:
+ 
+12400 total packages for NetBSD-current/amd64
+12072 binary packages built with gcc for NetBSD-current/amd64
+11211 binary packages (built with clang) for NetBSD-current/amd64
+10814 pkgsrc entries
+ 
+96 packages have been added this quarter
+16 packages have been removed this quarter
+Around 1350 packages have been updated this quarter
+(Including more than 100 X11 packages updated by Thomas Klausner.)
+ 
+These numbers may not compare exactly to other (binary) packaging
+systems; some packaging systems split large packages like boost up
+into multiple packages, while others keep unused and unbuildable
+packages.
+ 
+Compiler Support
+================
+ 
+As well as using gcc to compile packages, Joerg Sonnenberger has put
+much effort into building packages with clang. At the present time,
+11211 packages can be built using clang.
+ 
+Package Additions
+=================
+apache24, chimera, clojure, cloog, clusterssh, colorit, conky,
+croscorefonts, dnscheck, dojo, dos2unix, edt, emacs-jabber, emacs24,

+ 
+Pkgsrc-security
+===============
+One neat feature of pkgsrc is its ability to sort package versions
+based on the version numbers.  It's used in audit-packages, to report
+on any installed packages which may have security vulnerabilities in
+them.  pkgsrc-security@pkgsrc.org maintains lists of vulnerable
+packages, along with reference URLs relating to the exposure.  We
+thank OBATA Akio, Daniel Horecki, Guillaume Lasmayous, and Tim
+Zingelman for their hard work.  Sample output from audit-packages is
+shown below:
+ 
+% audit-packages
+Package libtasn1-2.11 has a local-system-compromise vulnerability, see http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1569

+ 
+Package of the Quarter
+======================
+Michael Hitch nominated handbrake, used to convert video files to
+something which can be played on an iPod.  An anonymous developer
+nominated both corkscrew and privoxy for "getting around corporate
+``security'' that is well-intentioned but counter-productive"

+ 
+About pkgsrc
+============
+pkgsrc is a cross-platform packaging system.  It allows people to
+download source, and to build and install binary packages on one or
+more platforms.
+ 
+Building packages from source is useful for a number of reasons:
+ 
++ not only is the provenance of source code checked (by using multiple
+checksums), with pkgsrc, the version of source code you are working
+with is the same that other developers and users have.
+ 
++ patches are maintained in a central repository, and, again, are
+checked at patch application time by using digests. The patches
+which are applied to the sources being built are the same ones which
+are known to be used and proved by other pkgsrc users (not necessarily
+on the same platform)
+ 
++ by building from source, all doubts about compilers, build practices
+source code cleanliness, and packaging differences are removed. 
+Digital signatures of binary packages, while useful in themselves,
+only prove certain aspects of binary package provenance.  (pkgsrc has
+had signed packages since 2001).
+ 
++ it may be difficult or impossible to find a pre-built package for
+the operating system or architecture
+ 
++ a pre-built package may have further or conflicting pre-requisites,
+which are themselves difficult to find or build. By building everything,
+including pre-requisites, a from-source packaging system can ensure
+that pre-requisites are present and integrated
+ 
+At the present time, pkgsrc supports 19 platforms
+ 
+	AIX
+	BSDOS
+	Darwin/Mac OS X
+	DragonFly
+	FreeBSD
+	FreeMiNT
+	HPUX
+	Haiku
+	IRIX
+	Interix/SFU/SUA
+	Linux
+	Minix3
+	MirBSD
+	NetBSD
+	OSF1
+	OpenBSD
+	QNX
+	SunOS/Solaris/SmartOS
+	UnixWare
+ 
+Complete dependency and pre-requisite package information is held and
+used by the package management software - if packages rely on other
+packages to function properly, that pre-requisite will be built,
+installed and managed as part of the package installation process. 
+Binary packages can be managed using pkgin.

+pkgsrc-2012Q4
+=============
+The pkgsrc team is proud to announce that pkgsrc-2012Q4 is available. 
+This release marks the 15th birthday of pkgsrc (the first entries were
+added in October 1997), and this release includes many new packages
+and updates.
+ 
+pkgsrc is a framework allowing third-party software to be built,
+installed, and managed in a consistent, logical and easy manner.  The
+resulting binary packages can be manipulated using binary package
+managers like pkgin and nih.  The framework is portable across
+operating systems, making it easy to support diverse systems from
+Windows to BSD, and including Linux and Mac OS X - see below for a
+complete list of platforms.
+ 
+pkgsrc releases take place at the end of every quarter.  The
+pkgsrc-2012Q4 release is the 49th release of pkgsrc.
+ 
+Numbers of Packages
+===================
+The latest figures we have for different platforms, include:
+ 
+11942 total packages for NetBSD-current/amd64
+11229 binary packages built with gcc for NetBSD-current/amd64
+11336 binary packages built with clang for NetBSD-current/amd64
+10265 binary packages for Linux-3.2.7/x86_64
+9519 binary packages for SunOS-5.11/x86_64
+11105 binary packages for Dragonfly-3.3/i386
+10985 pkgsrc entries
+ 
+178 packages have been added this quarter
+30 packages have been removed this quarter
+1259 packages have been updated this quarter
+2 packages have been renamed this quarter
+ 
+It is interesting to note that, according to pkgsrc-bulk figures on
+NetBSD-current/amd64 bulk builds, more packages now build with clang
+than with gcc - thanks to Joerg Sonnenberger.
+ 
+These numbers may not compare exactly to other (binary) packaging
+systems; some packaging systems split large packages like boost up
+into multiple packages, while others keep unused and unbuildable
+packages.  A large amount of work has been done this quarter to
+building packages on different platforms with newer compilers.  The
+total number of packages has actually gone down since the summer,
+mainly due to the removal of support for two older versions of python.
+ 
+New packages include contao30, deforaos, ffmpeg-1.0.1, freeswitch
+sounds, json-c, KeePass, moneyguru, motif-2.3.4, otptool, podcastdl,
+polysh, postgres92, python-3.3, sun-jdk7, sun-jre7, swig2
+ 
+Notable updates include asterisk, automake, bacula, bind, boost,
+cairo, cdrtools, cflow, coccinelle, cscope, curl, django, dovecot,
+drupal7, fetchmail, firefox, gcc47, git (as scmgit), glusterfs,
+gnome3, gnuplot, gnustep, gv, heimdal, hydrogen, ikiwiki, jenkins,
+kde, knot, libevent, libreoffice, mercurial, modular-xorg-server,
+mono, ng, openjpeg, openldap, openmpi, opensc, pidgin, pkgin, png,
+postfix, postgres91, postgresql92, qrencode, R, roundcube, samba,
+seamonkey, sqlite3, thunderbird, Transmission, typo3, valgrind, viewvc

++ local or site options which span packages can be set in a standard way
+ 
++ pkgsrc includes a framework for linking only with pre-requisite
+packages which are explicitly named; no "build system package"
+leakage can take place
+ 
+At the present time, pkgsrc supports 19 platforms:
+

+pkgsrc-2013Q1
+=============
+ 
+The pkgsrc team is proud to announce that pkgsrc-2013Q1 is available.
+As usual, this release includes many new packages and updates.
+ 
+pkgsrc releases take place at the end of every quarter. The
+pkgsrc-2013Q1 release is the 50th release of pkgsrc.
+ 
+To honor this release, we've finally decided on a logo for pkgsrc.
+It follows the design by Chris Wareham and Lubomir Sedlacik,
+implemented by Dieter Baron. Thank you!
+ 
+Take a look at it on the pkgsrc wiki: http://www.pkgsrc.org
+ 
+This version adds support for Cygwin. More work to be done, but you
+should be able to build some packages already.
+ 
+This will be the last release supporting ruby-1.8. Please migrate to
+ruby-1.9.
+ 
+About pkgsrc
+============
+ 
+pkgsrc is a framework allowing third-party software to be built,
+installed, and managed in a consistent, logical and easy manner. The
+framework is portable across operating systems, making it easy to
+support diverse systems from Windows to BSD, and including Linux and
+Mac OS X - see below for a complete list of platforms.
+ 
+pkgsrc allows end users or system administrators to build their own
+binary packages from source, or to use pre-built binary packages that
+were themselves built from source using the pkgsrc framework. The
+resulting binary packages can be downloaded if necessary, installed,
+and manipulated using simple tools provided with pkgsrc, or using more
+sophisticated binary package managers such as pkgin and nih.
+ 
+The pkgsrc project distributes the framework that can be used to build
+packages on all the supported platforms. The project also distributes
+binary packages for a few of the supported platforms. Third parties
+may distribute binary packages for some platforms.
+ 
+At the present time, pkgsrc supports 20 platforms:
+ 
+        AIX

+Numbers of Packages
+===================
+ 
+The total number of packages provided by pkgsrc-2013Q1 is:
+ 
+12111 total pkgsrc entries
+181 packages have been added this quarter
+60 packages have been removed this quarter
+1270 packages have been updated this quarter
+1 package has been renamed this quarter
+1 package has been moved this quarter
+ 
+The latest figures we have for available binary packages are:
+ 
+11141 binary packages built with gcc for NetBSD-5.1/i386
+11660 binary packages built with clang for NetBSD-current/amd64
+11105 binary packages for Dragonfly-3.3/i386
+10595 binary packages for Linux-3.2.7/x86_64
+ 9888 binary packages for SunOS-5.11/i386
+ 9840 binary packages for SunOS-5.11/x86_64
+ 
+These numbers may not compare exactly to other (binary) packaging
+systems; some packaging systems split large packages like boost up
+into multiple packages, while others keep unused and unbuildable
+packages.
+ 
+Changes this quarter
+====================
+ 
+A large amount of work has been done this quarter to building packages
+on different platforms with newer compilers.
+ 
+The default version of the PHP language was raised to 5.4.
+ 
+The default version for MySQL was also raised, to 5.5.
+ 
+ghostscript was split into two packages: ghostscript-gpl (the older
+version, available under the GPL) and ghostscript-agpl (the current
+version, available under the AGPL) since the AGPL is not in the
+default-allowed licenses for pkgsrc.
+ 
+transmission-gui was split in two packages, transmission-gtk and
+transmission-qt.
+ 
+New packages include R-intervals, ansible, autoconf-archive, bwping,
+cantarell-fonts, compat packages for NetBSD 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0
+consolamono-ttf, courier-prime, cvsps3, a few deforaos packages, dhex,

+ibus-mozc, icinga-base, ipv6-toolkit, isl, java-rxtx, jsMath-fonts,
+kyua-testers, labelnation, libexecinfo, libint, libnetpgpverify,
+libsodium, libuv, log2timeline, lua-lpeg, lxsession, menu-cache, mimp,
+minimalist, mozc-elisp, mozc-server, mozc-tool, mpqc, mysql-5.6
+packages, nagios-plugin-dumpdates, nagios-plugin-raidctl,
+netpgpverify, nginx-devel, nss-pgsql, open-vcdiff, openvpn-nagios,
+around 17 perl packages, pam-pgsql, pear-Math_BigInteger, perltidy,
+php-pdo_odbc, php-piwigo, php-sugarcrm, php-tt-rss,
+php-zendoptimizerplus, py-beets, py-flask, py-tornado, about 26 more
+Python packages, qcomicbook, qpdf, qpdfview, rabbiter, reposurgeon,
+around 34 ruby packages, se, squid3, stud, subversion16, tex-textcase,
+tex-textcase-doc, tktable, toppler, transmission-gtk, transmission-qt,
+tweak, uncrustify, uqm, user_cygwin, xdot, zoneminder.
+ 
+Package of the Quarter
+======================
+ 
+Aleksej Saushev recommends MPI-3 support via MPICH 3 and MPQC for
+those interested in quantum chemistry.
+ 
+OBATA Akio nominates Mozc, a modern Japanese Input Method Editor.
+ 
+Advantages of pkgsrc
+====================
+ 
+Advantages of using pkgsrc rather than either building from source
+without using pkgsrc, or installing pre-built binary software without
+using pkgsrc, include:
+ 
++ not only is the provenance of source code checked (by using multiple
+checksums), with pkgsrc, the version of source code you are working
+with is the same that other developers and users have.
+ 
++ patches are maintained in a central repository, and, again, are
+checked at patch application time by using digests. The patches which
+are applied to the sources being built are the same ones which are
+known to be used and proved by other pkgsrc users (not necessarily on
+the same platform)
+ 
++ by building from source, all doubts about compilers, build practices
+source code cleanliness, and packaging differences are removed.
+Digital signatures of binary packages, while useful in themselves,
+only prove certain aspects of binary package provenance. (pkgsrc has
+had support for signed packages since 2001.)
+ 
++ pkgsrc provides a mechanism to install a package for the relevant
+operating system or architecture if such a package hasn't been created
+by the software vendor or third party or is difficult to find.
+ 
++ With pkgsrc, complete dependency and pre-requisite package
+information is held and used by the package management software - if
+packages rely on other packages to function properly, that
+pre-requisite will be built or downloaded if necessary, installed, and
+managed as part of the package installation process.
+ 
++ local or site options which span packages can be set in a standard
+way
+ 
++ pkgsrc includes a framework for linking only with pre-requisite
+packages which are explicitly named; no "build system package" leakage
+can take place

+The pkgsrc team is proud to announce the availability of the
+pkgsrc-2013Q2 branch.  There are many new packages, and some bug
+fixes.  A start has been made on full cross-compilation across NetBSD
+architectures, and, while not yet ready for prime-time, it is usable
+in a fairly large number of packages.
+ 
+Numbers of Packages
+===================
+In pkgsrc, there are:
+ 
+12389 total packages for NetBSD-current/amd64
+11912 binary packages built with gcc for NetBSD-6.1/amd64
+11906 binary packages built with clang for NetBSD-current/amd64
+10254 binary packages built with gcc for Joyent's SmartOS/i386
+ 
+318 packages have been added this quarter
+41 packages have been renamed this quarter
+32 packages have been removed this quarter
+1564 packages have been updated this quarter
+ 
+These numbers may not compare exactly to other (binary) packaging
+systems; some packaging systems split large packages like boost up
+into multiple packages, while others keep unused and unbuildable
+packages.
+ 
+Pkgsrc Release Schedule
+=======================
+The pkgsrc developers make a new release every three months.  We
+believe that this is a sweet spot between too many updates, and
+keeping abreast of issues like security vulnerabilities.  Pkgsrc is
+not tied to any one operating system or architecture, which gives us
+the ability to decouple the releases from any operating system
+releases, and to concentrate on the packages themselves.
+ 
+Package Additions
+=================
+Our aspell and ispell dictionaries were overhauled to bring us up to
+date, and we gained 50+ KDE4 localisations.  Also notable were
+the additions of node.js, a number of kde4 games and multimedia
+applications were split out into their own releases, and gcc-4.8,
+opencobol, and our X11 and Mesa packages were also brought up to date.
+ 
+Package Removals
+================
+Amongst others, we said goodbye to:  postgresql-8.3, xulrunner,
+clutter08, ruby-clutter.  Python-3.1 has been replaced by python-3.3,
+and bind-9.7 has also transferred all its zones into the sunset.
+ 
+Pkgsrc-security
+===============
+One neat feature of pkgsrc is its ability to sort package versions
+based on the version numbers.  It's used in audit-packages, to report
+on any installed packages which may have security vulnerabilities in
+them.  pkgsrc-security@pkgsrc.org maintains lists of vulnerable
+packages, along with reference URLs relating to the exposure.  We
+thank OBATA Akio, Daniel Horecki, Guillaume Lasmayous, and Tim
+Zingelman for their hard work.  Sample output from audit-packages is
+shown below:
+ 
+% audit-packages
+Package bash-4.2nb1 has a buffer-overflow vulnerability, see http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-3410
+%
+ 
+Package of the Quarter
+======================
+John Nemeth nominated xenkernel42 and xentools42, as a simple way of
+getting modern support for Xen. My own vote goes to jq as a marvellous
+way of interpreting and displaying JSON.
+ 
+Getting pkgsrc

+ 
+About pkgsrc
+============
+pkgsrc is a cross-platform packaging system.  It allows people to
+download source, and to build and install binary packages on one or
+more platforms.
+ 
+Building packages from source is useful for a number of reasons:
+ 
++ not only is the provenance of source code checked (by using multiple
+checksums), with pkgsrc, the version of source code you are working
+with is the same that other developers and users have.
+ 
++ patches are maintained in a central repository, and, again, are

+

+source code cleanliness, and packaging differences are removed. 
+Digital signatures of binary packages, while useful in themselves,
+only prove certain aspects of binary package provenance.  (pkgsrc has
+had signed packages since 2001.)
+ 
++ it may be difficult or impossible to find a pre-built package for
+the operating system or architecture
+ 
++ a pre-built package may have further or conflicting pre-requisites,
+which are themselves difficult to find or build. By building everything,
+including pre-requisites, a from-source packaging system can ensure
+that pre-requisites are present and integrated
+ 
+At the present time, pkgsrc supports 20 platforms:
+ 
+	AIX
+	BSDOS
+	Cygwin
+	Darwin/Mac OS X
+	DragonFly
+	FreeBSD
+	FreeMiNT
+	HPUX

+ 
+Complete dependency and pre-requisite package information is held and
+used by the package management software - if packages rely on other
+packages to function properly, that pre-requisite will be built,
+installed and managed as part of the package installation process. 
+Binary packages can be managed using pkgin.

+download sources and to build and install binary packages on one or
+more platforms.
+ 
+Building packages from source is useful for a number of reasons:
+ 
++ not only is the provenance of source code checked (by using multiple
+checksums), with pkgsrc, the version of source code you are working
+with is the same that other developers and users have.
+ 
++ patches are maintained in a central repository, and, again, are
+checked at patch application time by using digests. The patches
+which are applied to the sources being built are the same ones which
+are known to be used and proved by other pkgsrc users (not necessarily
+on the same platform).
+ 
++ by building from source, all doubts about compilers, build practices,
+source code cleanliness, and packaging differences are removed. 
+Digital signatures of binary packages, while useful in themselves,
+only prove certain aspects of binary package provenance. (pkgsrc has
+had signed packages since 2001.)
+ 
++ it may be difficult or impossible to find a pre-built package for
+the operating system or architecture.
+ 
++ a pre-built package may have further or conflicting pre-requisites,
+which are themselves difficult to find or build. By building everything,
+including pre-requisites, a from-source packaging system can ensure
+that pre-requisites are present and integrated.
+ 
+At the present time, pkgsrc supports 22 platforms:
+ 
+        AIX
+        BSDOS
+        Cygwin
+        Darwin/Mac OS X
+        DragonFly
+        FreeBSD
+        FreeMiNT
+        GNU/kFreeBSD
+        HPUX
+        Haiku
+        IRIX
+        Interix/SFU/SUA
+        Linux
+        Minix3
+        MirBSD
+        NetBSD
+        OSF1
+        OpenBSD
+        QNX
+        SCO OpenServer
+        Solaris/illumos
+        UnixWare
+ 
+Complete dependency and pre-requisite package information is held and
+used by the package management software - if packages rely on other
+packages to function properly, that pre-requisite will be built,
+installed and managed as part of the package installation process. 
+Binary packages can be managed using pkgin.

+pkgsrc-2014Q2
+=============
+The pkgsrc team is proud to announce the availability of the
+pkgsrc-2014Q2 branch.  We welcome python-3.4, as well as many new and
+updated packages, a new default postgreSQL version, 9.3, and Lua
+multi-version support.
+ 
+Number of Packages
+==================
+In pkgsrc, there are:
+ 
+14895 possible pkgsrc packages in pkgsrc-2014Q2
+12116 pkgsrc entries as reported by lintpkgsrc (unique package Makefiles)
+14254 binary packages built with gcc for NetBSD-current/x86_64
+14895 binary packages built with clang for NetBSD-current/x86_64
+12037 binary packages built with gcc for Joyent's SmartOS/i386
+12635 binary packages built with gcc for Joyent's SmartOS/x86_64
+13118 binary packages built with gcc for Linux-2.6.32/x86_64
+10868 binary packages built with gcc for Darwin 10.8.0/i386
+12316 binary packages built with clang for FreeBSD 10.0/x86_64
+ 
+In addition, this quarter:
+244 packages have been added
+2 packages have been renamed
+18 packages removed, 1 with a successor
+1085 packages updated
+ 
+Pkgsrc Release Schedule
+=======================
+The pkgsrc developers make a new release every three months.  We
+believe that this is a sweet spot between too many updates, and
+keeping abreast of issues like security vulnerabilities.  Pkgsrc is
+not tied to any one operating system or architecture, which gives us
+the ability to decouple the releases from any operating system
+releases, and to concentrate on the packages themselves.
+ 
+This is the 43rd quarterly release of pkgsrc.
+ 
+Changes to pkgsrc
+=================
+Ryosuke Moro has greatly improved on our haskell package support. 
+Many pkgsrc developers and contributors have all all helped with PR
+submissions, fixes and bug reports.
+ 
+By default, pkgsrc now installs fonts into share/fonts/X11 (instead of
+lib/X11/fonts, which was for historical reasons). There should be no
+visible change to most users, except if the fontpath has been changed.
+ 
+In addition, PostgreSQL 9.3 has now been made the default version, and
+Lua multi-version support has been added.
+ 
+Package Additions
+=================
+python-3.4 and elasticsearch were added to pkgsrc, as well as python,
+perl and ruby wrappers for many libraries.
+ 
+Package Removals
+================
+We actively manage the packages in pkgsrc, and delete ones that are
+not necessary.  We said goodbye to Berkeley db-4.6, Xen 2.0 and Apache
+versions 1.3 and 2.0.
+ 
+Pkgsrc-security
+===============
+One neat feature of pkgsrc is its ability to sort package versions
+based on the version numbers.  It's used in audit-packages, to report
+on any installed packages which may have security vulnerabilities in
+them.  pkgsrc-security@pkgsrc.org maintains lists of vulnerable
+packages, along with reference URLs relating to the exposure.  We
+thank the whole pkgsrc-security team for their hard work.  Sample
+output from audit-packages is shown below:
+ 
+% audit-packages
+Package python27-2.7.7nb1 has a directory-traversal vulnerability, see http://bugs.python.org/issue21766

+Getting pkgsrc
+==============
+More information can be found in
+        http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/getting.html

+=============
+The pkgsrc team is proud to announce the availability of the
+pkgsrc-2014Q3 branch.  We welcome gcc-4.9 packages, say hello to
+snobol again, note that some R packages have moved within pkgsrc to

+to modular.
+ 
+Number of Packages

+ 
+Package Removals
+================
+We actively manage the packages in pkgsrc, and delete ones that are

+ 
+Other Changes
+=============
+Greg Troxel made the default X11 version for NetBSD-5 to be the
+modular X11 as found in pkgsrc.  The march of the haskell pkgsrc
+entries continues, thanks to Ryosuke Moro.  We welcome reports for
+building pkgtools/cwrapper on exotic platforms.  It will soon become a
