This is OctoPkgin, a powerful pkgin front end using Qt libs.

OctoPkgin is a Qt based GUI front end to the pkgin package manager, derived from Octopkg. It consists of a lxqt-sudo clone called qt-sudo used to gain root privileges and a package browser application used to search, install, remove and update packages. The project is compatible with NetBSD.

Follow the steps bellow to compile the latest source code (you'll need curl, git and qt5 packages):

$ git clone https://github.com/aarnt/octopkgin
$ cd octopkgin
$ /usr/pkg/qt5/bin/qmake
$ make
# make install

In order to run OctoPkgin:

$ octopkgin

Remember: OctoPkgin needs doas or sudo tool to work.

Enjoy!
