- | Minix uses pkgsrc as it's primary package manager, and pkgsrc is generally distributed in source form via a version control system. Most people on non-Minix systems use CVS to checkout the latest copy from the NetBSD project. Since all of the Minix specific changes and patches haven't made their way into the NetBSD version of pkgsrc yet, we maintain our version of the pkgsrc tree in own repository on [[http://git.minix3.org/?p=pkgsrc.git;a=summary|git.minix3.org]]. On a semi-regular basis we update our pkgsrc tree by merging in the changes from the NetBSD (upstream) version. Upstream uses CVS and we use git. Luckily, the folks at DragonFlyBSD maintain a git mirror of NetBSD's pkgsrc repository ([[http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/pkgsrcv2.git/shortlog/refs/heads/master|here]]). To update our repository, we just merge the changes from DragonFlyBSD's mirror. | + | Minix uses pkgsrc as its primary package manager, and pkgsrc is generally distributed in source form via a version control system.
