Hey,
I have noticed when trying to install a few of the packages that they no
longer exist.

For example i have been trying to install the binary meta-pkg for gnome,
but when running pkgin or pkg_add it keeps coming up with "package does not
exist"

Thus i have check under this pkgsrc branch (i.e. the one i have been using):

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.0/

And it appears that the gnome meta-pkg (aside from gnome-admin which can't
be installed) is no longer there along with several other gnome packages
and along with a lot of other packages, not sure which ones but i am
certain there are more missing.

I also checked under the 5.2 for AMD64, i386 and 6.0 for i386 branch just
to make sure i wasn't going crazy and it they are all the same.

The only branch that looked to have all packages (gnome meta-pkg) amongst
others was:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/

I am not sure what is going on or whether this is a purposeful move, though
i think whoever manages the pkgsrc branches needs to look into it.

Regards,
Martin
