Consolidate some old version info. Declare that PRs about 10.12 and earlier that do not contain fixes may be closed without fixing. (At this point there is still a lot of useful hardware that runs 10.13. Systems too old to run 10.13 are now more or less heading towards retrocomputing, and those too old to run 10.11 have arrived.) If you don't like this and would like to actually work on such PRs, feel free to volunteer to have <= 10.12 PRs assigned to you. |

$NetBSD: README,v 1.24 2020/08/14 07:35:26 schmonz Exp $ To try to get pkgsrc working on your system, please try the following as root: # ./bootstrap [ --workdir <workdir> ] [ --prefix <prefix> ] [ --pkgdbdir <pkgdbdir> ] [ --sysconfdir <sysconfdir> ] [ --varbase <varbase> ] [ --ignore-user-check ] [ --preserve-path ] [ --help ] The defaults for the arguments are as follows: --prefix /usr/pkg --pkgdbdir /usr/pkg/pkgdb --sysconfdir /usr/pkg/etc --varbase /var --workdir work The working directory will be created if it doesn't exist and has to be writable by the user executing ./bootstrap. The bootstrap script will exit if the bootstrap directory already exists, for example if you have run the script before. In this case, clean it up by running: # ./cleanup Make sure that you have a working C compiler and make(1) binary in your path. Please note that on some systems (IRIX and SunOS, for example), the bootstrap script will look into a number of common directories for alternative implementations of some tools. If they are found, these directories will be prepended to the PATH variable, unless the '--preserve-path' flag is given. See pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.txt or http://www.NetBSD.org/docs/software/packages.html for more information about bootstrapping and using pkgsrc. We'd be very interested in hearing of any successes or failures on "unknown" (to us) systems. Please remember to add $prefix/bin to your PATH environment variable and $prefix/man to your MANPATH environment variable, if necessary. (See above for --prefix and its default value.) The bootstrap script will create an example mk.conf file located in your work directory as "mk.conf.example". It contains the settings you provided to the bootstrap. Copy it to your $sysconfdir directory (see above about --sysconfdir and its default value). If the default mk.conf doesn't already exist, the example is copied into place. PER PLATFORM INFORMATION ======================== pkgsrc supports or has supported many operating systems (platforms). In general, there is a README.os for each platform that can run pkgsrc, explaining particular considerations. Because pkgsrc contains many per-platform fixes and accommodations, and because the presence of those at times causes more work for others, we list platforms according to whether they are in active use. (If you feel a platform is miscategorized, send rationale to pkgsrc-users@. Include a README.platform with instructions if it is missing and you are asserting that there are users. Developers should of course feel free to make improvements.) Note that listing a platform as having no users is not a decision to remove it from pkgsrc; this is merely recording information that individual developers can use when deciding how much work is justified for keeping any particular accommodation. (As always, any large-scale removals require a proposal and discussion on pkgsrc-users@.) Note also that pkgsrc policy is that fixes to packages, unless the fixes are to adjust a package to pkgsrc norms, should be filed upstream and the upstream tracker URL included in the patch file or Makefile. Platforms are listed by the filename in mk/platform, annotated by the README.platform here if different. Problems are listed, such as lack of a README, lack of cwrappers support, and lack of destdir support. Platforms with active use and maintenance ----------------------------------------- The following platforms have active users, and people that regularly fix problems. Darwin (README.macOS, macOS) FreeBSD Linux NetBSD SunOS (README.Solaris, illumos, SmartOS, OmniOS) Platforms believed to have users -------------------------------- OpenBSD Platforms with at least a tiny number of users ---------------------------------------------- HPUX SCO_SV (README.OpenServer5) Platforms with unknown status ----------------------------- Cygwin DragonFly (no README) FreeMiNT (no README) GNUkFreeBSD Minix (no README) UnixWare (no README) Platforms believed to have almost no users ------------------------------------------ AIX (no cwrappers) BSDOS (no README) IRIX Interix MirBSD OSF1 QNX (no README) Platforms believed to have no users ----------------------------------- Bitrig Haiku
