Announcing the pkgsrc 2022Q3 branch
The pkgsrc developers are proud to announce the 76th quarterly release
of pkgsrc, the cross-platform packaging system. pkgsrc is available
with more than 26,500 packages, and supports 24 platforms, of which 10
are currently known to be working. More information on pkgsrc itself
is available at https://www.pkgsrc.org/
In total, 167 packages were added, 80 packages were removed, and 1931
package updates (to 1390 unique packages) were processed since the
pkgsrc-2022Q2 release. Updates include 37 Haskell, 65 perl5 packages,
414 Python packages, 270 Ruby packages, and 165 Tex packages.
This announcement takes a high-level view, grouping related packages
under a single name, and treating multiple versions of an upstream
package as a logical unit. Thus, 'gcc 12', while a new entry
'lang/gcc12', is an update to 'lang/gcc*'.

Changes to the pkgsrc infrastructure and notes:
- Note that Firefox, Thunderbird and likely other packages with
difficult dependencies do not build on NetBSD 8 and other systems
with non-recent compilers. Users who wish to run these programs
are advised to update to an up-to-date version of their operating
system.
Instructions on using the binary package manager can be found at
https://pkgin.net, and pkgsrc itself can be retrieved from via CVS or
tar file, and also from a mirror at https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.
See https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/getting.html for instructions.
The branch name for the 2022Q3 branch is "pkgsrc-2022Q3".
