Description

I tried to install fastfetch from pkgsrc on macOS, but the package manager detection logic on macOS does not implemented the pkgsrc detection. I actually tried to modify the source code by porting the pkgsrc detection logic on NetBSD (src/detection/packages/packages_nbsd.c) to macOS, and change the pkgdb path to match the common /opt/pkg bootstrap prefix on macOS, it does work. I would like to request this issue being fixed, in order to provide pkgsrc detection out-of-box on macOS, without any manual modifications required. Thank you.
