Spotlight: pkgsrc

The main package distibution system for NetBSD and many other (free) operating systems is pkgsrc. Before it existed, packages were not standardized and much less organized. However, today pkgsrc has standardized and distributed packages for more than 10 operating systems and has more than 5000 packages. It has standardized both binary and source distributions for many operating systems. For more information, go to http://www.netbsd.org where there is more info about pkgsrc.

Edition 2

Oh, yes. Today begins edition 2. Now we have two new authors who contribute to the blog. There were 25 posts in edition one, I believe. There is also one comment. I have a pkgsrc article planned. I am looking forward to more posting and improving the blog with the two other authors, insmod and Harry K.A.
