pkgsrc-2015Q2 packages for OS X now available



I'm pleased to announce that binary packages for OS X based on
pkgsrc-2015Q2 are now available.

The major changes since 2015Q1 are:

 - Packages are now installed under the /opt/pkg prefix instead of the
   previous /usr/pkg.  This ensures we are compatible with the "System
   Integrity Protection" feature introduced in El Capitan / 10.11.

 - Many package options have been tweaked in order to enable more
   features by default.

 - The signed packages support we introduced in 2015Q1 has been
   extended to HTTPS support from our download site.  Simply update
   your repository URLs to be https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/ and get end
   to end encryption and verification.

 - Many package updates and additions from the pkgsrc developers have
   taken us to nearly 12,000 binary packages.

Installation instructions for OS X are here:
