This is a small utility to generate a FreeBSD pkg binary package from a pkgsrc binary package. It is invoked simply, using a command like: genpkgng ssam-1.9nb1.tgz and it will convert the pkgsrc binary package to a pkg one: % ./genpkgng.sh perl-5.18.1nb2.tgz Converting perl-5.18.1nb2.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 agc users 16597860 Apr 24 19:01 perl-5.18.1nb2.txz %
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.
