Re: Ravenports available on NetBSD 10/AMD64

["John Marino (NetBSD)" <netbsd%marino.st@localhost>]

yes.  The "localbase" for ravenports packages is "/raven" and other
than a few select system libraries (libc, libm. librt, etc),
everything is self contained.  Ravenports uses it's own compiler (gcc
14) so the gcc libraries are pulled into the /raven tree as necessary.

It's totally feasible to have it co-exist with pkgsrc packages.
You'll have to set the PATH accordingly though to establish a
priority.
I expect you should be able to run ravenports firefox but perhaps do
it from the native netbsd X / pkgsrc desktop first rather than
installing X server from ravenports
