Hi All, where do source files get saved? I get a permission denied (see below) when it retrieves files. my pkgsrc is "shared" on nfs (but still, rw, so it should not be an issue) # create also all dependencies DEPENDS_TARGET=package-install # work here WRKOBJDIR=/home/pkg-workdir # save our

Linux Skype on NetBSD

Hi All, Did anybody try on NetBSD 9.0 and amd64 SkypeForLinux ? Does it run with linux compatibility with access to audio & video? just wondering, since it is quite usable on a semi-decent laptop running Devuan, but I know therewere pulseaudio problems etc etc in the past. Riccardo

library cleanup after a system upgrade

Hi, suppose you upgrade netbsd with a major release. What happens to the "old libraries" ? I think they are left in so binaries continue to run. Just the new ones are symlinked to current. This causes some "cruft" accumulation compared to a new install. How can I do a cleanp? Maybe just a find

setting file creation time of a date

Hi, I have a more programmer question. Standard POSIX (and thus e.g. linux) handle only the modification date of the file. NetBSD, FreeBSD, Darwin/Mac (and even windows) keep also track of the creation date. stat birthtime, birthtimespec, birthtim are the BSD names inside the structure
