Yes, of course I know it. It doesn't look good for some casual user wanting to keep using only binary packages, though. I have a few boxes following -current - both NetBSD and pkgsrc - and have to reinstall osabi-NetBSD, then x11links, lsof and a few others with each OS minor version bump. In fact

Hi, If you run 'pkg_admin fetch-pkg-vulnerabilities' and then 'pkg_admin audit' then you get a list of installed packages that have vulnerabilities. Also, NetBSD has a cronjob that runs the audit everyday and then emails the output to root. On Ubuntu I have some packages installed with ap

Hi, As it is a transient thing, I was reluctant to file a pr, hope somebody notices it... On 7.0.1 (amd64) pkgin refuses to install osabi-NetBSD, as it is for 7.0 apparently. Subsequently all packages depending on it fail to install as well (i.e. mate). --- # pkgin install -d osabi-NetBSD-7.0 ca
