Alrighty! Every IRIX Sysadmin's nightmares end, as NetBSD's Packages Collection is now also available for IRIX. Porting bootstrap-pkgsrc over wasn't even too much of a pain. Everybody enjoy - I certainly do!

Finally, it has happened: NetBSD-current now has SMP support! Frank van der Linden has merged Bill Sommerfeld's i386mp branch into i386/-current. i386 SMP support should work fine on 1-CPU systems and quite well on a lot of multiprocessor systems. Please see Frank's E-Mail to the current-users mailinglist for details.
