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."

    Aparently the BSD crows have been driven away from Slashdot by the constant trolls.

    So were can I get BSD relevant news now ? I know there's deadly.org and bsdforums.org ... are there any sites that I'm missing ?

      I don't think so. Maybe it's just a quiet bunch ;). I always check BSD slashbox for important news.

      Given the style and tone on here, is it surprising to anyone ?
