2024Q2?

[rainer_d]

It seems it's MIA.

Usually, it takes about three days or so. Anybody know what's up?

It's worth tracking freebsd-ports ML.
Sometimes there are some show-stoppers.

OK, thanks.

Those are my PRs, or at least issues assigned to me. Those dreaded commits should have been reverted a week ago. Apparently that never happened. Don't know why. Will check this after work.

Found 2024Q2 branch is created.
Corresponding annoucement is here.

Note that preparation of pkg repo would take a fair amount of time due to toooo heavy ports like www/chromium and so on.

PR 275100 got resolved. That was holding things up.

I had pushed for an update of databases/p5-DBD-mysql. Didn't notice/realize the author changed the code to only compile in combination with MySQL 8.x. Made an attempt at patching those issues but quickly realized that wasn't possible and/or maintainable. Asked if the update could be reverted, that would have bought me some time to work out a better solution, but the reverts never happened. It then blew up this weekend when Q2 was branched off (or at least attempted to be).

So, you can blame me for the delay.

No maintainer is perfect, and things can be unexpectedly complex. SirDice thanks for everything that you do.

I build my own packages anyway - which takes about 3/4 of a day because it's done on a HP Gen8 server....
