pkgsrc: The NetBSD Packages Collection

The NetBSD Packages Collection (pkgsrc) is a framework for building third-party software on NetBSD and other Unix-like systems, currently containing over 6400 packages. It is used to enable freely available software to be configured and built easily on supported platforms.

work-in-progress pkgsrc packages

pkgsrc-wip (work in progress) is a project to get more people actively involved with creating packages for pkgsrc, a portable packaging system coming from NetBSD. It is the default packaging system for NetBSD and DragonFly and was also ported to many additional operating systems, including Solaris, Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and others.

The MirPorts Framework

The MirPorts Framework provides a generic way to install third-party software on Unix®-ish systems (the closer to BSD, the better). Currently supported are: MirOS BSD – https://www.ohloh.net/projects/mirbsd/ – primary OS, MidnightBSD – https://www.ohloh.net/projects/mnbsd, OpenBSD, Mac OSX ... [More] (somewhat), Interix (actually better than Mac OSX in some respects, but lacking interest) [Less]

ppkg

Pepo Package Manager (ppm, ppkg) is new project to create own package manager for easy installation of applications on Unix-based and Linux operating systems. Programmed in C (parts could be in C++), and POSIX standart, it is fully portable to any POSIX-based OS. This is the way to create very ... [More] good and fast package manager, which will combine advantages of Slackware packages (TGZ, very fast) and Debian, Red Hat packages (DEB, RPM, good info about package inside it, autodownload of dependencies).
