Description

pkgsrc is a package management system that is used to install, upgrade, and manage open source software on Unix-like operating systems. It was originally developed by the NetBSD Project, and is now maintained by the pkgsrc project. The system consists of a collection of tools, including the pkgsrc command-line utility, which can be used to search for, install, and manage software packages for a wide variety of operating systems. The software packages available through pkgsrc are typically source code packages, meaning that the user must compile the packages before they can be used. pkgsrc also provides support for pre-built binary packages, which makes it easier to install and manage software packages. Additionally, pkgsrc provides a framework for building, testing, and maintaining software packages, making it a powerful and versatile package management system.
