Hi. I have a somewhat absurd Linux system that I compiled myself. Musl with LLVM/Clang, a Libre kernel and the coreutils from FreeBSD, because I quite hate how GNU programs are heavy, and at the same time it's like an experiment. Apparently I tried bootstrapping pkgsrc, and it tried to compile GNU coreutils. It doesn't give me any infomation on why, at all. I also tried to compile bmake, pkg_install and other stuff myself, but as soon as I try to build digests, it tried to pull GNU in again. So what do I need to edit to make it stop pulling GNU in, like a specific .mk file to edit or something? I've seen how Aalbus Linux had pkgsrc, NetBSD coreutils and not GNU coreutils at the same time, so I know it's possible, and surely I do have a bunch of core utilities and I don't need a whole set more for no acceptable reason.

Has 2021Q4 been released? I haven't seen any announcement. Am I missing something? (Don't rush, just asking.)

It is 24 years old. While I am waiting for the arrival of 2021Q4.

Hi All,

Hoping you can help. I am novice user. I am super impressed with pkgsrc. I installed a bunch of stuff without issue. However... when I install Hexchat I get this error:

zsh: segmentation fault  hexchat

Tried running it with sudo too.

I have a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) running macOS "Big Sur" Version: 11.5.1 (20G80)

Other packages I have installed work just fine.

It is quite important for me to be able to write to NTFS formatted drives. It is actually the biggest reason why I moved over from Pkgsrc to MacPorts. The reason was because ntfs-3g on Pkgsrc for MacOS would not build and there was no pkgin binary.

Now however with Macports, I am having an issue where I install ntfs-3g and then I need to edit some files to get it to work.

Following the instructions from the site below.

wiki:howto/Ntfs3gFinder

But even though I try the following like I did for Catalina, "sudo mount -uw /"

But I get this error...

mount_apfs: volume could not be mounted: Permission denied mount: / failed with 66

I tried disabling SIP, but that does not work either. After disabling SIP, when I do this command,

sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig

I get this error,
mv: rename /sbin/mount_ntfs to /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig: Read-only file system

Would pkgsrc have a fix for this? Is there a working binary for ntfs-3g for macOS now on pkgsrc?

I'd like to stay abreast of pkgsrc quarterly releases so I can update to them as soon as they become available, but I've been unable to find any RSS feed that allows me to do so.

Can anybody provide one?

I started looking into pkgsrc and as far as I understand it always pulls the sources from the Master_Sites. Is there an option to use local sources? Would be useful for some suckless tools like dwm or surf, where you can patch the sources heavily.

I wrote an article about Pkgsrc (https://julxrp.wordpress.com/2018/06/11/pkgsrc-the-unknown-gem/)

At the time I was new to all this package management on MacOS and I tried to install "finch" and some other package, I cannot remember and both failed. Even building from source didn't work. I moved to MacPorts.

I am thinking of coming back to Pkgsrc, but I would like to know how it compares with MacPorts in terms of maintaining the packages and how they are updated.

I understand that you can configure global build flags under mk.conf using the variable PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS, like Gentoo's USE flags. Is there a place where I can see all of the different options I can set for all applications (like Gentoo's USE flag index)?

I was wondering since the Joyent page didn't seem to mention it. Will the Joyent binary packages run on Gentoo? I'm hoping to use it as a user local package manager on a USB stick. So basically, Portage for system packages, pkgsrc for user packages to avoid unnecessary compilation on a USB stick.
