Is this something that we can do with pkgin?  Or do we have to wait
until you (or someone like you) put the packages in a publicly-accessible
repository?  They're still missing from
https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/10.0_2023Q3/All/
and from
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/10.0_2023Q3/All/

At least there was no problem to build them.

I was able to reinstall ghostscript (as I stated).  The others --
ImageMagick6, atril, gv, libspectre and okular -- are gone.  I checked
a few minutes ago, and they are still gone.  Does anyone know why?
Does anyone know when they will be back?

Are The Packages Gone Again?

2023-12-18 Thread Jay F. Shachter


Esteemed Colleages:

Are the NetBSD 10 packages gone again?  I recently removed ghostscript
with the intention of re-installing it (gs was complaining that there
was no libtiff.so, which is preposterous, because there was, but I
didn't want to argue with it).  Removing ghostscript brought with it
the removal of gv, atril, okular, ImageMagick6 and libspectre, but,
with the same trust in my future happiness as a young lover, I
cheerfully agreed to those consequences.  But then I found, in that
same horrible manner as a young lover's first betrayal, that I could
remove those packages, but, once removed, I could not get them back
(other than ghostscript, which I was able to reinstall).  ImageMagick6,
gv, atril, okular, libspectre -- all gone.  I could not reinstall them.
I looked for them everywhere, or more precisely, I looked for them in
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/10.0_2023Q3/All/
and in
https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/10.0_2023Q3/All/
and they are gone, disparu, cruellement disparu.

I tried to build at least some of them from source, and I got as far
as libspectre (which I put into /usr/local/lib, I could not bear to
have it occupy /usr/pkg/lib where the old libspectre had lived).  But
to build atril from source I needed glib-genmarshal from glib, and to
build glib I needed aclocal-1.15, and at that point I stopped, because
it is rumored that I have a life.  These rumors are of questionable
veracity, inasmuch as it is 1am and I am not in bed, but I am, rather,
sitting at my work table and trying unsuccessfully to build software,
but I did nevertheless stop, because I do have, if not a life, at
least something distantly resembling one, a faint violet whiff and
dead leaf echo of a life, and I am not going to build the GNU Automake
packages (which requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl) at 1am (now
1:07am) in the morning, in order to build glib, in order to build
atril, even if I have, not a life, but only an after-dinner sleep
dreaming of one.

So what is going on?  Are the packages gone, once again, as they were
earlier this year?  Are they being rebuilt?  And why I am being
punished, when I have not sinned?  As always, thank you in advance for
any and all replies.
