Hmm... wayland-scanner gets segfault under NetBSD/amd64-current. The core file has no clue... #NetBSD #pkgsrc

I have finally found the problematic commit to break pkgsrc/lang/python3*. #pkgsrc #NetBSD

I will bisect NetBSD src tree... #NetBSD #pkgsrc

NetBSD src of TZ=UTC cvs up -dP -D2025-03-30 has no problem at all. #NetBSD #pkgsrc

Hmm... On my very recent NetBSD/amd64-current, builds of pkgsrc/lang/python3* fails. #pkgsrc #NetBSD

System Administration

Week 4, Package Management

In this video, we continue our discussion of the difference between the operating system and so-called "add-on software". We conclude that in order to install and maintain all such software, we want to use a package manager, and illustrate common features by example of the 'dpkg', 'rpm', and #NetBSD's #pkgsrc tools.

Diagram of software types as stacked rectangles. At the bottom is "Hardware", then "Firmware", then "Kernel". On top of that are "System Software" and "Applications/Utilities" next to each other and "Add-on or Third-Party Applications on top. "Package Management" comprises all layers from "Kernel" up; "Operating System" comprises "kernel", "system software", and "applications".

@phix @rubenerd @cmccullough @fedora @opensuse Not sure; NetBSD and macOS get the most buildbuild attention, AFAICT, but you're always welcome to pop into #pkgsrc on libera.chat.

@ParadeGrotesque

I have a "theory" :)

The announcement is for #pkgsrc source code. It takes about 2 or 3 weeks for things to replicate and binaries to be built.

All right, pkgsrc 2025Q1 has just been announced on the mailing lists.

It's not even on pkgsrc.org yet! 😉
