Re: [PLUG] General purpose pkgsrc...
|
The only experience I've had with pkgsrc is from the FreeBSD ports
collection. It worked fairly well for standard installs. I had a major
problem installing Apache from the ports collection and eventually had to
download the sources and install it by hand. That's probably a reflection
on the ports collection and not pkgsrc since ports insisted on
recompiling Apache for certain modules without support for other modules
that required an apache recompile.
