NetBSD to Freeze pkgsrc Tree

Posted by michael on from the frozen-chosen dept.

jschauma writes "Alistair Crooks announced today that the NetBSD Packages Team will start a freeze on the pkgsrc tree in order to prepare for the release of the fourth stable branch, pkgsrc-2004Q4. The freeze will begin on December 6th 2004, and will last for a maximum of 2 weeks, during which the developers will bring down the PR count and fix problems shown by the bulk builds."

  1. Great! So which version(s) of NetBSD can run this? by RLiegh · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If I want to use their pre-built packages, do I have to be running the latest CVS, or can 1.6 handle it?
