[csw-users] pkg-get is deprecated

[Maciej Bliziński]

Hello OpenCSW users,

pkg-get[1], the original package installation tool, is now deprecated.
 The development is now focused on pkgutil[2].  The bootstrap area of
the website[3] no longer shows the choice between pkg-get and pkgutil;
the old URL is now a HTTP redirection to the pkgutil page.

> curl -s -I http://www.opencsw.org/get-it/pkg-get/ | gegrep '(HTTP|Location)'
HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.opencsw.org/get-it/pkgutil/

The old tool is still available from the package catalog, but it isn't
supported and there are no guarantees that it will receive any updates
in the future.

Those who care about pkg-get are encouraged to look for a new
maintainer for the package.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask, either here, or
at #opencsw on Freenode.

Maciej
