Packages once, use anywhere - pkgsrc provides a framework for building and installing software packages across many operating systems. In 2014, pkgsrc saw over 12,000 available packages, support for 22 platforms, improvements to key languages and packages, and changes to make binary package signing and Solaris service management easier. The pkgsrc project also welcomed a new PMC team member.
