Question YUM Like Tool

Hi,

I want to install Nfsen on my OpenBSD firewall. I was able to download the tar.gz Nfsen package and ran the
Code:
pkg_add -v nfsen-1.3.7.tar.gz
command

It gives
Code:
Can't find nfsen
output.

Is there any way to easily add packages to my OpenBSD firewall like in some Linux distributions by giving a command like
Code:
yum install nfsen
?

tar.gz? What is inside? I suppose source code. In that case you should
extract and compile/build that. Better way will be prepare a package
and install it, even if you don't consider to add to ports tree.

If inside is Gnu/Linux binary then there is in i386 compatibility layer with Gnu/Linux
but this can be buggy solution.

The best way
nfsen exists inside OpenBSD ports tree and there is a package for it
http://ports.su/net/nfsen
http://openports.se/net/nfsen
The best way is to configure pkg_add according to FAQ 15.2.2 [1] or man pkg.conf(5) [2]

OpenBSD uses the pkg_* tools for third party package management.

Are you still using OpenBSD 5.3?
If so, the version of nfsen for that release was 1.3.5. The packages are specific for each OpenBSD release, you cannot install a package designed for use with a different release. Your nearest package mirror stores the packages by individual release number.

You must use the proper $PKG_PATH environment variable, or the proper /etc/pkg.conf configuration file. Setting $PKG_PATH will override the configuration file, if used.

OpenBSD FAQ 15 gives package management guidance, however the FAQ is accurate for the last release, which was 5.8.

If you are using OpenBSD 5.8 and already downloaded the package (nfsen-1.3.7p3.tgz), you can just go in your download directory and type :

Code:
pkg_add -v ./nfsen

I will add that only a very few package mirrors still have 5.3 packages available. Most only have 5.7 and 5.8, since that is what the Project currently supports. Here is one that retains historical packages, and still has 5.3 packages available:
