Template:Short descriptionScript error: No such module "Unsubst".

Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template other Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". pkgsrc (package source) is a package management system for Unix-like operating systems. It was forked from the FreeBSD ports collection in 1997 as the primary package management system for NetBSD. Since then it has evolved independently; in 1999, support for Solaris was added, followed by support for other operating systems.Template:R

pkgsrc currently contains over 22,000 packages and includes most popular open-source software. It is the native package manager on NetBSD, SmartOS and MINIX 3, and is portable across 23 different operating systems, including AIX, various BSD derivatives, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux,[1] macOS,[2] Solaris, and QNX.[3]

There are multiple ways to install programs using pkgsrc. The pkgsrc bootstrap contains a traditional ports collection that utilizes a series of makefiles to compile software from source. Another method is to install pre-built binary packages via the <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />pkg_add and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />pkg_delete tools. A high-level utility named <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />pkgin also exists, and is designed to automate the installation, removal, and update of binary packages in a manner similar to Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool.[4]

Several vendors, including MNX.io, provide binary packages for popular operating systems, including macOS and Linux.Template:R

History

On October 3, 1997, NetBSD developers Alistair Crooks and Hubert Feyrer created pkgsrc[5] based on the FreeBSD ports system and intended to support the NetBSD packages collection. It was officially released as part of NetBSD 1.3[6] on January 4, 1998. DragonFly BSD used pkgsrc as its official package system from version 1.4 in 2006, to 3.4 in 2013.[7]Template:R

On 2017-09-12, a commit message policy that accommodates DVCS was established by the project.Template:R

Packages

The NetBSD Foundation provides official, pre-built binary packages for multiple combinations of NetBSD and pkgsrc releases, and occasionally for certain other operating systems as well.[8]

As of 2018, several vendors provide pre-built binary packages for several platforms:
