Hi,
I do not understand your question.

First of all the topic of merging repos was mentioned by Radu-Cristian
FOTESCU on His blog and probably by Troy Dawson recently (I can't find
the post).

Second, pkgsrc is a collection of compilation and installation recipes.
Of course binary repository exists as well. All is based on sources.
pkgsrc is coherent as it's being kept together in one "chunk".

See the page and devote 3 min of your time to read it, please:
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/introduction.html

It was only my suggestion or question whether something is being done
to get rid of the "multirepo syndrome". I heard that implementing
pkgsrc to other system isn't as easy, but not as hard as it would seem
at first sight as well. Anyway such evaluation should be done by
real programmer, not casual GNU user like me. So I asked.

Regards,
pp
