@jspath55 pkg_admin -V should help with the version info.

Sorry, but I don't know much about pkgin, that's more @jperkin so I may be completely off base about the #pkgsrc tools in use here?

Glad you found out why it's forcing postgresql 16 though πŸ˜ƒ

@jspath55 Wow. Never seen that before, ... and can't reproduce it here :( (NetBSD aarch64 11.99.6, pkg_admin 20260227):

> pkg_admin pmatch 'postgresql1[0-35-9]-client-[0-9]*' 'postgresql14-client-14.23' && echo match

What version of the pkg_install tools do you have?

#pkgsrc

@veer66 #pkgsrc works on a number of different operating systems, including Linux and MacOS. You don't have to run #NetBSD to use pkgsrc 🀘
@veer66 Why not create your own pkgsrc entry (ie directory, Makefile, distinfo, DESCR, PLIST and any patches) for your own software? Maybe add it to #pkgsrc-wip so everyone can use it?Then you won't be breaking abstractions, and you and others can use it on other autotools-supported platforms you may not have access to (pkgsrc makes sure config.sub and config.guess are consistent everywhere)
@jpasski @cynicalsecurity Yeah, making a mental note to avoid 25.0-RELEASE too 😁😁😁😁
@jperkin NM, Jonathan, ghostty looks interesting, thanks for the recommendation, and I’m interested in the long-term road test
@jperkin Any chance of getting it moved from wip into pkgsrc before the 2026Q1 branch, please? πŸ™πŸ˜Ž#pkgsrc #prettyplease 😁
@wezm Interesting - the pkgsrc metdata files (DESCR, PLIST) are still in the pkg/ subdirectory, before they were moved to the main directory. Takes me back πŸ‘ Thanks for the memories, and sorry to hear about the PC’s memory
@sborrill Wanna get a band together?
@Nerdfest @codinghorror I took a different approach when I retired, and informed LinkedIn that the place I now worked was called β€œNULL”. A few years later, I was surprised to receive some email through LinkedIn from a financial consultant, offering me some financial advice, and explaining that they’d β€œworked with a number of your colleagues at NULL”. 🀷 🀦
