Re: Binary package missing



Yes, of course I know it. It doesn't look good for some casual user wanting to keep using only binary packages, though. I have a few boxes following -current - both NetBSD and pkgsrc - and have to reinstall osabi-NetBSD, then x11links, lsof and a few others with each OS minor version bump. In fact an attempt to install mate on 7.0.1 renders:

----
# pkgin install mate
calculating dependencies... done.

nothing to upgrade.
8 packages to be installed (0B to download, 50M to install):

osabi-NetBSD-7.0 libgtop-2.28.4nb9 mate-utils-1.14.0 mate-system-monitor-1.14.0 mate-control-center-1.14.0 mate-applets-1.14.0nb1 marco-1.14.2 mate-1.14.0

I've had problems with that package too and I've gotten used to going
through pkgsrc to solve it.  If it's any consolation, this takes very
little time to build (certainly nothing like qt4-libs or firefox!)
Besides, I think that not every package is available as a binary and
then it's also necessary to build from source.
