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).
