pkgsrc-2019Q3 release announcement



Hi!

The pkgsrc developers are proud to announce the 64th quarterly release
of pkgsrc, the cross-platform packaging system.  pkgsrc is available
with more than 20,000 packages, running on 23 separate platforms; more

In total, 301 packages were added (many new games, emulators, audio
tools, and R and ruby packages), 114 packages were removed, and 1,682
package updates (to 1,280 unique packages) were processed since the
pkgsrc-2019Q2 release. Parts of the TeXlive packages were updated for
the 2019 release.

Instructions on using the binary package manager can be found at
http://pkgin.net, and pkgsrc itself can be retrieved from
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc or via cvs or tar file -- see
https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/getting.html.  The branch name for
the 2019Q3 branch is "pkgsrc-2019Q3".

Cheers,
 Thomas
