Minix3 has a user. Combine "almost no users" and "no users"; the point is really the last date we have a report of how it works, and that only takes one person. Adjust/shorten language.

|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
Remember also to use bmake to build packages in pkgsrc. It's very
|
|
likely that the native make on your system will be incompatible with
|
|
the Makefiles in pkgsrc.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
$sysconfdir directory (see above about --sysconfdir and its default
|
|
value). If the default mk.conf doesn't already exist, the example is
|
|
copied into place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PER PLATFORM INFORMATION
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
pkgsrc supports or has supported many operating systems (platforms).
|
|
In general, there is a README.${platform} for each platform that can
|
|
run pkgsrc, explaining particular considerations.
|
|
|
|
Note that pkgsrc contains many per-platform fixes and accommodations,
|
|
and pkgsrc does not always work well on very old platforms. We list
|
|
platforms according to whether they are in active use as a clue to
|
|
whether pkgsrc on that platform is likely to work. Improvements to
|
|
code and documentation are always welcome.
|
|
|
|
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 (which is probably a bug).
|
|
Platforms with a * are believed to be non-working; see the README for
|
|
the platform for perhaps more information. A platform not having a
|
|
README is a clue that it might not work.
|
|
|
|
Platforms with active use and maintenance
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following platforms have active users, and people that regularly
|
|
fix problems. They also have active bulk builds posted to
|
|
`pkgsrc-bulk`.
|
|
|
|
macOS (perhaps also Darwin, if such still exists)
|
|
Linux
|
|
NetBSD
|
|
Solaris (illumos, SmartOS, OmniOS)
|
|
|
|
These platforms are active but lack published bulk builds.

|
|
FreeBSD

|
