Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
58b578bfb0
Two patches have been applied on top, both of which are stored in the patches directory as manual-Build.sh and manual-funcs.c, to fix issues on Darwin and SunOS that will be included in the next mksh release. The binary mksh.ico file has been manually removed. This paves the way for mksh to be used as an alternate bootstrap shell instead of shells/pdksh, which has been unmaintained for many years and has some known issues. Initial bulk build results on Darwin and SunOS look good, and having a maintained shell which focuses on portability and speed should provide us with a better long-term option for systems which require a bootstrap shell. |

pkgsrc
pkgsrc 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.
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.
- Subscribe to the pkgsrc-users mailing list
- Send bugs and patches via web form (use the
pkgcategory).
