pkgtasks is a shell script library to ease writing POSIX-compliant shell
scripts to handle common tasks during installation or removal of a
package, e.g.,
* creating groups and users needed by the package
* creating and removing directories with special permissions and
ownership,
* copying example config files to their final locations during package
installation, and removing them during package removal if they don't
differ from the example ones,
* reminding the user of files that may be customized after package
installation.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
