There is quite a lot of code which is needed by many ROX applications -- for example: save boxes, multiple choice dialogs and tool bars. Keeping all this code in one place makes these programs smaller. It also makes programs which use it more consistent.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
