Packages once, use anywhere. Pkgsrc is a package management system that builds software for many operating systems including NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris and more. The past year saw pkgsrc gain support for new platforms like Haiku and packages like PostgreSQL 9.0 and Ruby 1.9 while removing older versions. Work also focused on infrastructure changes and addressing issues like compatibility problems and network fetching errors.
