Hi, Jonathan! This is great news! Thank you! I run a stable branch of NetBSD, so I would ideally wish for packages built for NetBSD 9 stable, but I understand that that wasn't what you needed. I really like it that all your packages are signed; very nice! I also really like it that the bootstrap kit bundles the certs from security/mozilla-rootcerts so that HTTPS works out of the box! Lastly, I like the idea of being able to build my own binary packages using the same bulk-build setup across all platforms that I need. (I also like the idea of using binary packages on all platforms built from the same bulk-build setup, but that doesn't apply here for me because I would need packages built for NetBSD 9 stable.) So, your addition of support for NetBSD to pkgbuild is *highly appreciated* as NetBSD was the last platform that I needed that wasn't supported by pkgbuild! BTW, the Package Development wiki pages at https://github.com/joyent/pkgsrc/wiki need to be updated to include NetBSD. Thanks again for this contribution! Great work! Lewis
