pkgsrc-2019Q3 release announcement
Hi!
The pkgsrc developers are proud to announce the 64th quarterly release
of pkgsrc, the cross-platform packaging system. pkgsrc is available
with more than 20,000 packages, running on 23 separate platforms; more

In total, 301 packages were added (many new games, emulators, audio
tools, and R and ruby packages), 114 packages were removed, and 1,682
package updates (to 1,280 unique packages) were processed since the
pkgsrc-2019Q2 release. Parts of the TeXlive packages were updated for
