On NetBSD, some packages
built with /usr/pkgsrc/ or installed via pkgin are too old for me.
It applies especially to modern/actively-developed softwares,
such like clang or fish.
But using only the latest pkgsrc means living on the bleeding-edge.
And they get to be buggy and builds get to be broken only when we are busy
(you know, it’s called Murphy’s law).
So I use both:
- System’s stable packages (
/usr/pkg/), installed with /usr/pkg/bin/pkgin
- Latest pkgsrc
Even when packages in latest pkgsrc are broken, we can use stable packages!

# system's stable packages
/usr/pkgsrc/ # (I don't use)
/usr/pkg/ # Stable packages installed by pkgin
/usr/sbin/pkg_add # (I don't use)
/usr/pkg/bin/pkgin # Install stable binary packages
# latest packages
# sudo is not needed
$HOME/pkgsrc/ # latest pkgsrc
$HOME/pkg/ # latest pkg (compiled from $HOME/pkgsrc/)
$HOME/work-bootstrap/ # working directory for bootstrap
$HOME/pkg/bin/bmake # compiles $HOME/pkgsrc/
|
Requirements
- Latest version of NetBSD (9.1)
git installed with system’s pkgsrc, pkg_add, or pkgin.- Basic knowledge of using git (
git clean, git rebase, dealing with force-push (git reset --hard))
I tried on NetBSD 7.1 amd64, but /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.7.3 was too old for the
latest pkgsrc.
Procedures below was tested only on NetBSD 9.1 amd64.
