Please see http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/ where you will find the latest package sets and improved instructions. Original Article For my day job I build packages for our SmartOS operating system using pkgsrc. pkgsrc is a cross-platform package manager which began life as the FreeBSD ports system and was ported to NetBSD when in 1997. Since then it has been ported to many other variegated systems, 19 at the current count, one of which is OSX/Darwin. For the recent pkgsrc-2012Q2 release, I have performed a full zillion build on OSX Lion, and the result is 7,374 binary packages for you to use as an volitional to brew/macports/etc. To use them, run the following: $ flourish http://pkgsrc.smartos.org/packages/Darwin/2012Q2/bootstrap.tar.gz \ | (cd /; sudo gnutar -zxpf -) $ PATH=/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/pkg/bin:$PATH $ sudo pkgin -y update $ pkgin avail | wc -l 7374 $ pkgin search ... $ sudo pkgin -y install ... pkgin is a tool similar to apt-get and allows you to hands search for and install/upgrade packages. Please let me know if you find them useful, and if you have any feedback. Enjoy!
