Quarterly

[phalange]

yes, at least I was having problems. I did remove the package and installed the port, then rebooted and everything was fine again.

Thanks rootbert, but just to clarify -- I use pkgs, not ports, and I'm checking to see if this pkg update I'm seeing has the rebuilt drm-kmod that will work with 12.2

 

[rootbert]

I also use pkgs, but the update of drm-kmod did not work for me so in this special case I used the port

I'm guessing this is a green light to bump my system to 12.2... is this the package (module) that's been causing the problems?

Is it passed 31 January yet? No? Then it's still being built for 12.1. The version of the port/package itself has nothing to do with this.

Packages will get built for 12.2 when 12.1 is EoL. Until that time they're going to be built for 12.1. If this is the only package you're depending on you can build this one from ports if you switch to 12.2. 99.9% of the 41.000+ 12.1 packages will work just fine on 12.2.

A newbie question about drm-kmod ... with future updates is there a place where I can check what the date for the switchover is. I'm assuming it's the eol date from www.freebd.org/security/ but wanted to make sure I'm not making a false assumption.

That's correct. Packages are built for the lowest minor version that's supported. When a new minor version is released the support for the previous version ends three months after it. There's always a three month "grace" period with every new release.

As a follow up question, how long does it typically take for the rebuilt packages usually hit the quarterly repo once the minor release has hit end of life?

It can take a couple of days for everything to build and the mirrors to catch up.

okay, thanks!

So how do I use the site listed? I'm having trouble figuring out how to read the info. Does it have per package info where I could check on the drm packages or is there a way to infer the info?

 

[SirDice]

Use the blue filter buttons. Things are sorted by build runs. Every version and architecture has a specific "jail" name. Within the 121amd64 jail for example the packages for 12.1-RELEASE-amd64 are built. Every jail type runs on a specific build server. Click on the "poudriere" icon to go to the specific build server. It looks like things have been set in motion as there's now a 122amd64 jail: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds?jailname=122amd64

Thanks! So if I'm reading it correctly it looks like the drm-kmod packages are listed in the queued ports section, so just have to wait for the process to be completed

Then everything needs to be synced to the mirrors. Which can take a bit of time too. No status page for that as far as I know.

 

[coyote_zed]

thanks for the info

Is the quarterly rebuild still being synced?

 

[coyote_zed]

I was also wondering if the quarterly is still being synced ... still not seeing an updated drm-kmod pkg for 12.2. EDIT: Ends up drm-kmod was updated but I had an error in my rc.conf file (slim_enable was spelled incorrectly).
