NAME

     pkgsrc -- NetBSD packages collection (framework for third-party software)


DESCRIPTION

     The NetBSD Packages Collection (pkgsrc) is a framework for building and
     maintaining third-party software on NetBSD, DragonFly and other UNIX-like
     systems.  It is used to enable freely available software to be configured
     and built easily on supported platforms.

     Tools are available to install ready-to-use packages and to perform vari-
     ous administrative tasks for the package system.

     For building packages from source, /usr/Makefile offers a number of tar-
     gets to checkout and update the pkgsrc and pkgsrc-wip trees.  `cd /usr;
     make help' gives a quick overview.

     Note that due to compatibility issues bmake(1) has to be used instead of
     make(1) for pkgsrc related tasks.
