pkgsrc is a framework for building software on UNIX-like systems.
To use, bootstrap using:
% cd pkgsrc/bootstrap/
% ./bootstrap
build packages, use:
% cd pkgsrc/category/package-name
% $PREFIX/bin/bmake install
Where $PREFIX is where you've chosen to install packages (typically /usr/pkg)
Bugs and patches can be filed in the follow link (use category 'pkg'):
