pkgsrc-2022Q4 branch released



The pkgsrc developers are proud to announce the 77th quarterly release
of pkgsrc, the cross-platform packaging system.  pkgsrc is available
with more than 27,000 packages, and supports 23 platforms, of which 10
are currently known to be working.  More information on pkgsrc itself
is available at https://www.pkgsrc.org/

In total, 215 packages were added, 63 packages were removed, and 2326
package updates (to 1687 unique packages) were processed since the
pkgsrc-2022Q3 release.  Updates include 56 perl5 packages, 570 Python
packages, 184 Ruby packages, and 39 TeX packages.

This announcement takes a high-level view, grouping related packages
under a single name, and treating multiple versions of an upstream
package as a logical unit.  Thus, 'gcc 12', while a new entry
'lang/gcc12', is an update to 'lang/gcc*'.

Changes to the pkgsrc infrastructure and notes:

 - Bitrig support was removed
 - Note that Firefox, Thunderbird and likely other packages with
   difficult dependencies do not build on NetBSD 8 and other systems
   with non-recent compilers.  Users who wish to run these programs
   are advised to update to an up-to-date version of their operating
   system.

Instructions on using the binary package manager can be found at
https://pkgin.net, and pkgsrc itself can be retrieved from via CVS or
tar file, and also from a mirror at https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.
See https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/getting.html for instructions.
The branch name for the 2022Q4 branch is "pkgsrc-2022Q4".
