Klaatu tries `pkgsrc` on Slackware, and you won't believe what happens next.
But to sum it up: it's super easy to implement, easy to use, and pretty nifty.
To get `pkgsrc` on your Linux OS:
Download:
$ wget ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current.pkgsrc.tar.gz
Extract it to `/usr`:
# su -
# tar --extract --verbose --file pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr
Bootstrap `pkgsrc`:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/
# ./bootstrap
Adjust paths:
# echo "PATH=$PATH:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin" >> ~/.bashrc
# echo "export $PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
# echo "MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/pkg/man" >> ~/.bashrc
# echo "export $MANPATH" >> ~/.bashrc
Build something:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/foo/bar
# make install
