pkgsrc

History

grant d13c42fa72 pull up revision 1.38 from src: Remove some code which makes file lookup rely on the fact that the first two directory entries are "." and "..". This behaviour is not required by applicable standards, and actually not provided by "coda". Now we get the "." and ".." into the per-directiry hash tables, but this should not hurt. fixes bmake build on Fedora Core 2, PR pkg/26140 from Shoichi Miyake.		2004-11-06 15:09:22 +00:00

To try to get pkgsrc working on your system, please try the following
as root:

# ./bootstrap [ --prefix=${PREFIX} ] [ --pkgdbdir=${PKG_DBDIR} ] \
	[ --sysconfdir=${PKG_SYSCONFBASE} ] [ --workdir=working directory] \
	[ --ignore-case-check ] [ --ignore-user-check ] [ --help ]

The defaults for the arguments are as follows:

	--prefix	/usr/pkg
	--pkgdbdir	/var/db/pkg
	--sysconfdir	/usr/pkg/etc
	--workdir	work

It is perfectly acceptable to place ${PKG_DBDIR} under ${PREFIX}.

The working directory will be created if it doesn't exist and has to be
writable by the user executing ./bootstrap.

Make sure that you have a working C compiler and make(1) binary in
your path.

See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/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.
