Hello

I just want to say how nice is pkgsrc to solve the "upgrade hell" of
Linux apps.

Finally I appreciate the cross-platform nature of pkgsrc, which allows
me to use the same installation instructions on Linux and OS X.
Eventually Unix has a common meaning !

I fully agree with you.
From years I never seen something so intelligent/powerful and popular like pkgsrc (we have a lot of solutions around here but none with all privileges of pkgsrc glued all together).
With Pkgsrc I feel more free than any apt-get like tools that use a very centralized vision (with a lots of pros).

2cents,
