Future of python311 ports

Jim L. · Tuesday at 10:47 PM

There have been lingering vulnerabilities against python311 for some time now. Is there a timeline to release a patched version of 3.11 (don't see that there is one listed at https://vuxml.freebsd.org/freebsd/613d0f9e-d477-11f0-9e85-03ddfea11990.html) or to migrate the default package build dependencies to python312-3.12.12_3 or better? Or perhaps some other development I'm unaware of?

Thanks!

There is some information from #28 onwards.

Jan 3, 2026

exp-run (experimental test build of the ports tree) on python 3.13 was rejected.

The next default is 3.12.
An exp-run of 3.12 has been requested.
