The only diff for me is: pkgsrc is workable on other than BSD systems. For example you can use it on Solaris or Linux - I say that it(the portability) is typical for a third party software package system from the NetBSD project - . So far I know is the ports tree not (at least not without pain) usable on other systems. And so far I read is pkgsrc a derivative of ports - but this can be very well bull -. The technical differences (configure files, standard dirs etc. etc.) you have look up part for part in the docs. I hope I could help you. regards Gueven _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
