NetBSD Packages Collection Gets 'pkgviews'

Posted by michael on from the apt-get-still-better dept.

jschauma writes "NetBSD's Packages Collection aka pkgsrc now has support for an experimental new framework called ``pkgviews''. This framework, finally allowing multiple versions of one package to co-exist without conflicts (among other great features), was first proposed by Alistair Crooks at EuroBSDCon 2002 and has been integrated into pkgsrc by Johnny C. Lam, who just posted a User's guide to the tech-pkg MailingList."

    If "Netcraft confirms that BSD is dying" than why does Netcraft.com run on FreeBSD?
