Are there binary packages available for NetBSD/dreamcast?

0

Short answer: no. Long answer: There are currently no official binary packages available on ftp.NetBSD.org in /pub/NetBSD/packages. Unofficial binaries are available though: Alex Kirk has built several hundred unofficial packages, which he has listed on his web site. Some of the links work, others do not; all of them are going to a machine with only 128K of upstream bandwidth, so don’t be surprised if they’re slow to download. Also, Jan Schaumann has a higher-bandwidth location for most of the packages, and he also makes a good point about security for the paranoid. Please note that The NetBSD Foundation can and will not take any responsibility for binary packages offered from unofficial sites!
