Haiku development keeps making progress in itself, but we are also seeing quite a bit of Haiku-related developments in other open source projects, this one coming from the NetBSD camp. According to an email from NetBSD developer Akio Obata, he has successfully bootstraped pkgsrc on Haiku. pkgsrc is the NetBSD Packages Collection, a framework with over 8000 packages that allows building third-party software on NetBSD and other UNIX-like systems (supported platforms). Thanks to the work of Obata-san, support for Haiku is expected to be added to pkgsrc soon, hopefully in the next stable release named pkgsrc-2010Q1. We talked briefly with Obata-san, and here is a mini-interview with him.
