Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
Based on patches from Juan RP and Toru TAKAMIZU via PR pkg/19419. Changes: Version 2.6.4 - 2002-12-26 ========================== * new settings net:socket-bind-ipv4 and net:socket-bind-ipv6 to bind sockets to a specific address (useful to select a specific network interface to use). * now reget does not start transfer if not needed. * ssl:verify-certificate set to no by default. * fixed ~ handling in find and mirror. Version 2.6.3 - 2002-11-04 ========================== * fixed wrong eta calculation. * fixed cls when redirected output file was not writable. * fixed uploading of zero sized files over fish protocol. * fixed timezone manipulation on linux. * fixed a compilation problem on hp/ux. Version 2.6.2 - 2002-09-10 ========================== * readline history is now stored in a file. * handle full-disk condition as fatal if the file is removed. * recursive deletion (rm -r) fixed. It used DELE instead of RMD. * fixed a rare core dump, usually happening on completion. * fixed compilation with modules. Version 2.6.1 - 2002-08-10 ========================== * fixed core dump when handling Content-Disposition. * fixed core dump when specifying zero queue position. * fixed ETA rounding - it was possible to see 1h60m. * a number of compile problems fixed. Version 2.6.0 - 2002-08-02 ========================== * separated rate limitations for download and upload (set limit-rate 200:100). * added SSL certificate support and several SSL related settings. * connection slot support. Now you can switch sessions with Meta-[123...] or with command `slot <name>'. You can also use slot:<name> as a pseudo-URL. * per-slot queues. Now you can have several queues for the same site using different slots. * queue can be stopped now. Use `queue' with no args to create a stopped queue, `queue start' to run it, `queue stop' to stop it. When you exit lftp, the queue will start automatically. * mirror now appends source base name to target if target ends with a slash. * improved hftp:proxy setting. Now it defaults to http:proxy and is not needed if ftp:proxy is set to `http://...'. * fixed mirror in case of server without MDTM command. * mirror could start multiple transfers if it could not cd to a direcory, even without --parallel. * fixed fd leak in `(commands)' structure. * fixed memory leak in '(commands)'. Version 2.5.4 - 2002-06-05 ========================== * fixed double free problem introduced in version 2.5.3. * compilation fixes. Version 2.5.3 - 2002-06-02 ========================== * security fix: long error message from ftp server could cause buffer overflow. * fixed ftp:fix-pasv-address. Now the address should be fixed properly. * handle HTTP `100 Continue' in any open mode. * status line fixed: don't write a space to last screen column. * security fix: check that addresses have proper length. * migrated to gettext-0.11.2 and automake-1.6.1. |

$NetBSD: README,v 1.13 2001/12/03 21:33:56 agc Exp $ Welcome to the NetBSD Packages Collection ========================================= In brief, the NetBSD Packages Collection is a set of software utilities and libraries which have been ported to NetBSD. The packages collection software can retrieve the software from its home site, assuming you are connected in some way to the Internet, verify its integrity, apply any patches, configure the software for NetBSD, and build it. Any prerequisite software will also be built and installed for you. Installation and de-installation of software is managed by the packaging utilities. The packages collection is made into a tar_file every week: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz and you can sup the pkgsrc tree using the `pkgsrc' name for the collection. The pkgsrc tree is laid out in various categories, and, within that, the various packages themselves. You need to have root privileges to install packages. We are looking at ways to remove this restriction. + To install a package on your system, you need to change into the directory of the package, and type "make install". + If you've made a mistake, and decided that you don't want that package on your system, then type "pkg_delete <pkg-name>", or "make deinstall" while in the directory for the package. + To find out all the packages that you have installed on your system, type "pkg_info". + To remove the work directory, type "make clean", and "make clean-depends" will clean up any working directories for other packages that are built in the process of making your package. + Optionally, you can periodically run "make clean" from the top level pkgsrc directory. This will delete extracted and built files, but will not affect the retreived source sets in pkgsrc/distfiles. + You can set variables to customise the behaviour (where packages are installed, various options for individual packages etc), by setting variables in /etc/mk.conf. The pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk gives the defaults which are used in pkgsrc. This file can be used as a guide to set values in /etc/mk.conf - it is only necessary to set values where they differ from the defaults. The best way to find out what packages are in the collection is to move to the top-level pkgsrc directory (this will usually be /usr/pkgsrc), and type "make readme". This will create a file called README.html in the top-level pkgsrc directory, and also in all category and package directories. You can then see what packages are available, along with a short (one-line) comment about the function of the package, and a pointer to a fuller description, by using a browser like lynx (see pkgsrc/www/lynx) or Mozilla (pkgsrc/www/mozilla), or Communicator. This is also available online as ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html. Another way to find out what packages are in the collection is to move to the top-level pkgsrc directory and type "make index". This will create pkgsrc/INDEX which can be viewed via "make print-index | more". You can also search for particular packages or keywords via "make search key=<somekeyword>". It is also possible to use the packaging software to install pre-compiled binary packages by typing "pkg_add <URL-of-binary-pkg>". To see what binary packages are available, see: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/<release>/<arch>/All/ where <release> is the NetBSD release, and <arch> is the hardware architecture. One limitation of using binary packages provided from ftp.netbsd.org is that all mk.conf options were set to the defaults at compile time. LOCALBASE, in particular, defaults to /usr/pkg, so non-X binaries will be installed in /usr/pkg/bin, man pages will be installed in /usr/pkg/man... When a packaged tool has major compile time choices, such as support for multiple graphic toolkit libraries, the different options may be available as separate packages. For more information on the packages collection see the file Packages.txt file in the same place where you found this README, usually in the top-level pkgsrc dir. directory.
