5.8.0 Enhancements 1863: disk_partitions() exposes 2 extra fields: maxfile and maxpath, which are the maximum file name and path name length. 1872: [Windows] added support for PyPy 2.7. 1879: provide pre-compiled wheels for Linux and macOS (yey!). 1880: get rid of Travis and Cirrus CI services (they are no longer free). CI testing is now done by GitHub Actions on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD (yes). AppVeyor is still being used for Windows CI. Bug fixes 1708: [Linux] get rid of sensors_temperatures() duplicates. (patch by Tim Schlueter). 1839: [Windows] always raise AccessDenied when failing to query 64 processes from 32 bit ones (NtWoW64 APIs). 1866: [Windows] process exe(), cmdline(), environ() may raise "invalid access to memory location" on Python 3.9. 1874: [Solaris] wrong swap output given when encrypted column is present. 1875: [Windows] process username() may raise ERROR_NONE_MAPPED if the SID has no corresponding account name. In this case AccessDenied is now raised. 1877: [Windows] OpenProcess may fail with ERROR_SUCCESS. Turn it into AccessDenied or NoSuchProcess depending on whether the PID is alive. 1886: [macOS] EIO error may be raised on cmdline() and environment(). Now it gets translated into AccessDenied. 1891: [macOS] get rid of deprecated getpagesize(). |

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. pkgsrc is highly configurable, supporting
building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix (the default is
/usr/pkg
), allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a
build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among
other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation is also supported.
pkgsrc is the default package manager for NetBSD and SmartOS. It's also supported as a first-class option in OmniOS CE and Oasis Linux.
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
pkg
category).
