Subject: 10 years of pkgsrc - the interviews
Date: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 - 10:26 am

10 years ago - on October 3rd 1997 - the pkgsrc software management system

was created by Alistair Crooks and Hubert Feyrer. pkgsrc, the NetBSD

Packages Collection, was primary intended as packaging system for NetBSD.

Derived from the FreeBSD Ports system, pkgsrc became a success story.

Today, pkgsrc is a cross-platform framework, running on the BSDs, Linux,

Solaris, Mac OS X, many Unix derivatives and even on Windows.


We continue the anniversary celebrations with a series of interviews:

developers and users of pkgsrc and of related systems give insights into

the history, the concepts, the problems and the future directions of

packaging systems:

I wish to thank all participants:


Christoph Badura, Alistair Crooks, Marc Espie, Hubert Feyrer, Jordan K.

Hubbard, Erwin Lansing, James K. Lowden and Joerg Sonnenberger!


Best regards, Mark Weinem
