Hello,

I am new to NetBSD (and even to BSD), and i think need some clarification
on binary packages. Could you help me?

1) I cant install mozilla on 1.6RC1 with pkg_add, for the archive is not
available on ftp.netbsd.org. (i.e, no
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.6/i386/All/mozilla*.tgz).

Why is it not there? A compilation problem prevents to make it available?
Or is the package abandoned? Better, is there a web page to track this
status (compile breaks/abandoned/...) for a given package (or all
packages)?

I had the same problem with the png package, but downloading the 1.5
binary package was OK. The trouble with mozilla is that i cant find it on
ftp://[...]/1.5/i386/All/.

2) Furthermore, i do not know if there is a way to upgrade an installed
binary package to a new version, in a way similar to apt-get on Debian.
Must i get the source and compile it? Or will pkg_add let me install the
newer version even if an older version is already installed?

3) A last question: will openoffice be available for NetBSD 1.6?

Voila, thank you in advance for every answer, for it will help me much.
