PKG_PATH=http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.0.1/All pkgin install cant find firefox, smplayer, mplayer or other common packages.. is the link bad? why arent there those packages? i thought "http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub..." was the "official" link? what am i missing?

Have you tried the command pkgin update before going install these programs? It updates the package database to the latest version.

As the Quarterly build directory is populated, the developers change the link from 7.0.1 -> 2016Q2 to 7.0.1 -> 2016Q3. This just happened a few days ago.
You can either wait for the builds to show up in 2016Q3 or edit the configuration file to pull from Q2. |

the file formats mplayer are/can be patented in some countries, and its legal status is uncertain in several countries. Because of this, mplayer packages aren't build.
From the source of pkgsrc : file: ...multimedia/mplayer-share/Makefile.common RESTRICTED= Prohibited by USAs DMCA and patent law NO_BIN_ON_CDROM= ${RESTRICTED} NO_BIN_ON_FTP= ${RESTRICTED} NO_SRC_ON_FTP= ${RESTRICTED} ...... You can build mplayer and other related mplayer packages building yourself from pkgsrc: http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/pkgsrc.tar.bz2 Uncompress it under /usr. # cd /usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/mplayer # make install |
