NetBSD development
Practically all software on our systems is now installed from the NetBSD packages collection. I’m the registered maintainer for the following packages. This doesn’t mean that I would do all the work for these packages. In fact other developers and users provide many updates and fixes, for which I’m very thankful.
I’ve started commenting on all my “important” pkgsrc commits, so you can read about them.
Note! I’m currently unable to update this list with current versions due to these pages being hosted outside of my home network, away from my development systems. I’m hoping to resume updates in the beginning of June, 2006. Of course, I’m continuing to work on pkgsrc and you can follow my blog for updates, if you’d like.

I also maintain a couple of public services for all NetBSD users:
- ftp.fi.netbsd.org: A mirror of the ftp site, hosted by FUNET in Finland.
- man.netbsd.org: NetBSD manual pages, hosted by Global Wire in Finland.
In “Upgrading NetBSD” I describe how I keep my own collection of systems up-to-date.
