pkgsrc
======
[pkgsrc](https://pkgsrc.org) is a framework for building software for a
variety of UNIX-like systems.
It produces binary packages, which can be managed with tools such as
[pkgin](http://pkgin.net/).
Bootstrapping
-------------
To use pkgsrc on operating systems other than NetBSD, you first need to
bootstrap:
cd pkgsrc/bootstrap
./bootstrap
Note that this is only for the most simple case, using pkgsrc's defaults.
Please consult `bootstrap/README` and `bootstrap/README.OS` for detailed
information about bootstrapping.
Building packages
-----------------
cd pkgsrc/category/package-name
$PREFIX/bin/bmake install
Where `$PREFIX` is where you've chosen to install packages
(typically `/usr/pkg`)
On NetBSD, `bmake` is simply the built-in `make` tool.
To build packages in bulk, tools such as `pkgtools/pbulk` and
`pkgtools/pkg_comp` can be used.
Troubleshooting
---------------
- Join the community IRC channel [#pkgsrc @ freenode](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#pkgsrc).
- Subscribe to the [pkgsrc-users](https://netbsd.org/mailinglists/#pkgsrc-users) mailing list
- Send bugs and patches [via web form](https://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd) (use the `pkg` category).
Latest sources
--------------
To fetch the main CVS repository:
cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot checkout -P pkgsrc
To work in the Git mirror, which is updated every few hours from CVS:
git clone https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git
