Our copy of the pkgsrc repo is now frozen. Well, actually it kinda<br>
froze itself, I've given up trying to keep it in sync after spending<br>
many man-hours wrestling with mis-syncs. In anycase, we're not<br>
updating it any more nor are we doing pkgsrc bulk builds any more.<br>

Stable refers to the latest quarterly release, at the moment 2013Q3.<br>
<br></div><div>The recommended way is to use CVS though. 'cd /usr && cvs -q -z2 -d anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot checkout -P pkgsrc' should give you an initial tree and 'cd /usr/pkgsrc && cvs update -dP' should then give you the latest changes.<br>

<br></div><div>Before you change to a new way of keeping your pkgsrc tree in sync, by removing /usr/pkgsrc, make sure you don't have any packages in /usr/pkgsrc/packages you wish to keep.<br><br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br>
