pkgin 0.4.0
February 14, 2011 posted by Emile Heitor

After a year of PR's, feedbacks and various fixes, pkgin 0.4.0 isnow available and its package, pkgtools/pkgin, is up-to-date.

１年間のPR，feedback，および様々なfixを経て，pkgin 0.4.0が利用可能になりました．pkgtools/pkginは最新です．

For the record, pkgin is a binary package manager aimed atsimplifying manipulation of 3rd party software available as pkgsrcbinaries. Its usage mimics similar tools like Debian's apt orRedHat's yum.

公式にpkginはpkgsrcバイナリとして利用可能な3rdパーティソフトウェアを簡素に操作する事を目的としたバイナリパッケージマネージャです．DebianのaptやRedHatのyumと同様に使用できます．

While pkgin does not pretend to be as polished as those well knowntools, it is now used in production in various companies (includingmine), where clients cannot be told to "wait for the end of thebuild" ;)

0.4.0 brings some features that have been requested during the pastyear such as download-only, package reinstallation, chroot (in orderto install packages to a chrooted environment), and bandwithcalculation; thanks to Baptiste Daroussin for those two.

0.4.0はdownload-only，パッケージの再インストール，chroot（chroot環境にパッケージをインストールするため），bandwith calculation(訳注：？？？）などの要望されていたいくつかの機能をもたらします．

pkgin 0.4.0 also has now native support for MINIX 3 thanks to GautamB.T. from MINIX, and better SunOS 5.1[0-1] support.
As of today, i've built and tested pkgin on the followingplatforms:

• NetBSD 4.0
• NetBSD 5.{0,1}
• NetBSD current
• DragonFly BSD 2.0 to 2.8
• DragonFly BSD current
• Solaris 10/SunOS 5.10
• Opensolaris/SunOS 5.11
• Debian GNU/Linux 5 and 6
• Mac OS X 10.{5,6}
• MINIX 3.1.8

Last but not least, pkgin no longer depends on SQLite package, asthe Amalgamation source file is now part of pkgin's tree. Thatmeans 0.4.0 binary installation will be as simple as pkg_addhttp://your.favorite.repository/All/pkgin-0.4.0.tgz
As always, testing and feedback is more than appreciated
