We're looking for someone to work on packaging with SmartOS using pkgsrc. Love compilers and problem solving? Familiar with pkgsrc? mnxsolutions.com/careers/pkg…

For the pkgsrc 21.4.0 LTS release I would like to upgrade the SmartOS build platform image, so that we can take advantage of recent improvements in illumos. More details here: smartos.topicbox.com/groups/… Let me know if you're stuck running an older illumos release for any reason.

I've fixed the pkgsrc issue on macOS Monterey, and package sets are now available with the fix. Unfortunately it's a chicken-and-egg scenario, so please follow the instructions I sent to tech-pkg to get past the breakage: mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-p… Let me know if it still fails!

Delighted to announce the first release of our binary package set for Apple Silicon! Head to pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on… and choose the "Big Sur (M1)" option. Currently over 16,000 packages available with more to come. The x86 sets are also up-to-date now after the hardware move.

First full macOS/arm64 pkgsrc bulk build is done! us-east.manta.joyent.com/pkg… Some easy low-hanging fruit, some of which has already been fixed. Hoping to have binaries shipped in the next few days.

Happy macOS Big Sur release day. Want 20,000 binary packages for it? Head over to pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on… and click on the "Big Sur" tab. Upgrading to Big Sur and have an existing Mojave pkgsrc set installed? Unpack pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/D… and "pkgin upgrade" to switch over.

My macOS package repository is now back online. As before, you MUST run "pkg_add mksh" before "pkgin upgrade" if you have an existing install. For new users, there is now an updated bootstrap kit available, which will Just Work. For more info please see mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc…

I've released pkgin 20.7.0 and updated pkgsrc. As always, let me know ASAP if you run into problems. This release fixes the install ordering problem, a contributing factor to the macOS binary package repository being on hold (remember to "pkg_add mksh"!) github.com/NetBSDfr/pkgin/co…

Oh the fun to be had deciphering "ulimit -m" vs "ulimit -v" on macOS: github.com/joyent/pkgsrc/com… With this in place, mksh as the pkgsrc bootstrap shell is looking pretty good so far.

So this will completely break pkgsrc's builtin detection, at the very least.

New in macOS Big Sur 11 beta, the system ships with a built-in dynamic linker cache of all system-provided libraries. As part of this change, copies of dynamic libraries are no longer present on the filesystem. Code that attempts to check for dynamic library presence by looking for a file at a path or enumerating a directory will fail. Instead, check for library presence by attempting to dlopen() the path, which will correctly check for the library in the cache. (62986286)

OK - started to do some new work on the UBports Ubuntu Pinephone today - the disk layout is a little weird to get used to. Installed build-essential and nfs-common - mounted a fresh #pkgsrc over Wireless network and bootstrapped pkgsrc 2020Q1 - all went fine

Replying to @pkgsrc
It actually performs really well on it (pkgsrc on Pinephone)

With the introduction of the illumos target in rust 1.44.0 I have produced bootstrap kits for both x86_64-sun-solaris and x86_64-unknown-illumos. As usual they are fully relocatable and contain everything you need. Once the illumos target stabilises I'll switch pkgsrc over.

Almost finished with my pkgsrc-wip CDE package - it also builds on older NetBSD 8.2 with no problems, I have already uploaded the ast-ksh to pkgsrc-wip which is essential for this to work

I've committed pkgin 20.5.1 to pkgsrc. The build has been converted over to automake, with various other cleanups. Tested on Darwin, Minix, and SmartOS, so I'm reasonably confident I didn't miss anything obvious, but please let me know if something isn't working right. Thanks!
