EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb, Croatia was great!

At NetBSD devsummit I have presented «Running Docker (and more) in NetBSD via Lima». Lima (<https://lima-vm.io/>) permits to run Linux virtual machines (as guests) - with port forwarding and volumes sharing - and I have showed how NetBSD is supported and works as host!

Slides available at <https://www.NetBSD.org/gallery/presentations/leot/eurobsdcon2025-devsummit-lima/lima.pdf>.

I have now also imported Lima in pkgsrc as sysutils/lima.

pkgin 25.10.0 released.

Fixes an issue where changes to the pkgdb outside of pkgin operations (e.g. manually running pkg_add) could affect subsequent upgrades and lose autoremove information.

I'll get this into the SmartOS and macOS trunk builds over the weekend.

Telescope [0] is an emacs/w3m-inspired browser for the "small internet"
that supports Gemini, Gopher and Finger. Written in C, with a privsep design in mind.

Telescope is now available on pkgsrc (below you can see it running on SPARC). With a few patches [1], it builds and runs fine on Solaris too.

Thanks @op@bsd.network, @thomasadam@bsd.network, and others for contributing to this project.

Dunno what it was with the networking earlier but e1000 did work. Success! 🥳 #pkgsrc

Anyone running my arm64 macOS binary packages from https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/install-on-macos/ on Sonoma 14.5 or newer may want to upgrade to the newer package sets that I've now built:

$ sed -i -e 's/12.3/14.5/' /opt/pkg/etc/pkg_install.conf /opt/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
$ pkgin -f update
$ pkgin upgrade

I'll get new bootstrap kits and a proper announcement done soon, but this is all you need to do if you already have the 12.3 packages installed.

The 14.5 SDK is now required by some software.

I had to repartition the USB 2.0 SSD to provide 4GB of swap. That seems to be helping #pkgsrc builds.

@Tubsta @stefano The #pkgsrc Dovecot maintainer plans to update mail/dovecot2 to 2.4. I think it would be better to add a separate clashing mail/dovecot24 package. If the main package goes to 2.4, I may choose to maintain a dovecot23 package instead
