- Libraries and binaries don't have the .note.GNU-stack section stripped anymore. Previously, "make strip" would strip that section, which would sometimes (depending on the toolchain) cause binaries to be incorrectly tagged as needing an executable stack. This is not a security issue in itself, but an executable stack makes it easier for an attacker to turn bugs into exploits, so it should be avoided whenever possible. Thanks to Xavier Stonestreet for reporting and finding the cause of the problem. - Link tests are now performed with a regular file as their output, instead of /dev/null, which makes them more portable to old/buggy linkers. - Bugfixes. Bump default BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS to match. |

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
pkgcategory).
