Sorry, my fault. I subscribed to a few different lists which I
thought would be interested in this, and then sent one mail which
bcc'd them - assuming that the list servers in question would handle
the rest.
Again, if you have any questions about this package set, I'd be
delighted to answer them. I've had a few come in so far, so I'll take
the chance to summarise them here:
- You can browse the list of packages here:
http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Linux/el6/2014Q2/x86_64/All/
- They aren't in RPM format, but pkgsrc (the system used to build
them) does have pluggable backend support, and there was an
unfinished GSOC project to implement RPM support a few years back.
If someone is interested it would be fantastic to see this finished
so we can provide them as RPMs via yum instead.
- pkgsrc is branched every 3 months, and from that we generate the
binary packages and provide a new package set, so every quarter
there is a fresh update of new packages.
Cheers,
