minus-square@TwinTurbolink2•2 years agoHey, thanks for suggesting pkgsrc! Do you have any experience using it on systems where you don’t have root access, i.e. you need to install software in your home directory? Is it a good fit for such scenarios?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoYes! You’ll have to use pkgsrc from source. The bootstrap script has an unprivileged flag. See: https://netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/platforms.html
