Re: Regarding software availability and external websites

[Erik Fair <fair%netbsd.org@localhost>]

There is a very large collection of application software ported to NetBSD (though not necessarily to all platforms that NetBSD supports) in http://www.pkgsrc.org/

Pre-built (compiled) binaries for NetBSD/mac68k 6.0 (which should work on NetBSD 7 as well) can be found at http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/mac68k/6.0/

Are there any update-to-date sources that I can read to better prepare myself? If not, I'd think a simple GitHub Pages site might do well for hosting all the ephemera that doesn't necessarily go on the main NetBSD Mac 68K project page.
