I am the pkgin maintainer, and would be interested to hear about any issues you have building pkgin. It should build on any of the 23 platforms that pkgsrc supports, including Linux. I even offer daily binary package builds for CentOS here: https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-linux/ https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-linux/ Feel free to open up an issue at https://github.com/NetBSDfr/pkgin/issues https://github.com/NetBSDfr/pkgin/issues and we can take a look.

Those binaries even sometimes work on Ubuntu, with a little manual linking and good luck, even though it's a total abuse. :D

I am trying to compile it from source on Linux. I immediately ran into an annoying issue, which is having the need to specify those directories manually. So I did, and the configure finished successfully when I ran: ./configure --prefix=/home/john/.local/pkg/pkgin-20210529 --with-dbdir=/usr/ --with-libarchive=/usr/ --with-libfetch=/home/john/Downloads/libfetch-2.33 --with-openssl=/usr/ --with-sqlite3=/usr/ --with-pkg-install=/home/john/.local/pkg/pkgsrc-2021Q1/sbin/ --with-machine-arch=x86_64 When I ran `make`, I ran into: actions.c: In function ‘verb_flag’: actions.c:53:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘strlcat’; did you mean ‘strncat’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] 53 | strlcat(pkgtools_flags, "v", 1); | ^~~~~~~ | strncat Which tells me that I could fix it by providing `-I/usr/include/bsd/` and `-lbsd` or the like. I will give it a go. Any ideas anyway? Edit: I added the above, and it went on to: In function ‘strncpy’, inlined from ‘read_repos’ at fsops.c:133:6: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/string_fortified.h:106:10: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ specified bound 8192 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation] 106 | return __builtin___strncpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos (__dest)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This does not sound too good, you probably want to fix it (along with the other warnings on Linux). In any case, I got rid of `-Werror` and I have a couple of undefined references. I will most likely get it to work, but you see my issue here, right? Is it the "official" way to compile it from source by the way? Edit #2: I got a working binary by making those changes[1]. Last few lines: CCLD pkgin /usr/bin/ld: external/pkgin-var.o: in function `var_get': /tmp/pkgin/external/var.c:99: warning: This function cannot be safely ported, use getline(3) instead, as it is supported by GNU and POSIX.1-2008. make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pkgin' --- You might want to look into compiling it on Linux, because without those changes[1], you cannot do it.

I tried using both `ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/5.1/All` and `http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/packages/$arch/DragonFly-$osrelease/stable/All http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/packages/$arch/DragonF...`, but they were not working. Hmm, I tried to use a working one, but I got this: processing remote summary (https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Linux/el7/trunk/x86_64/All)...

Not sure why SSL support is disabled when I configured it, it specifically asked for it, and I provided it through `--with-openssl=/usr/` and it passed because it found it.

  http://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.1/All/ seems to work! Although I do get: pkg_add: Warning: package `bootstrap-mk-files-20180901' was built for a platform: pkg_add: NetBSD/x86_64 7.0 (pkg) vs. Linux/x86_64 5.8.0 (this host) So how would I remedy this for Linux? I want to use "https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Linux/el7/trunk/x86_64/All/ https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Linux/el7/trunk/x86_64/Al..." but I get "SSL support disabled". I will debug this I think. --- I fixed it. I had to compile libfetch with `-DWITH_SSL'. --- All in all, there are many problems that I ran into, but nothing that much of a big deal. --- There is one problem I cannot seem to fix: pkg_add: unable to verify signature: Signature key id 4735b9a256aaacaf not found I keep getting this, and I have no clue how to change it or where it came from. Without this, nothing actually gets installed, so I cannot use pkgin or pkg_* until this is resolved. Do you have any clue? I tried to look for anything to change in pkg_install.conf or mk.conf but to no avail. Any ideas?
