pkgsrc has entered freeze for the upcoming 2020Q3 branch. This will likely last between a week and the end of September. Everyone who builds packages from source can help by - updating their pkgsrc trees to HEAD (and tracking HEAD) - building all packages, via - bulk build (full, or what you care about) - pkg_rolling-replace - something else that ensures a consistent build - reporting troubles As always, it's important to have a consistent build, so some mechanism is needed to ensure that all packages are up-to-date relative to what's now in pkgsrc. At this point, known trouble, relative to the general state of how things have been, includes: firefox and thunderbird don't build on NetBSD 8. Basically, they move too fast, and 8's compiler/headers are old. If you are still running a desktop on NetBSD 8, you should think hard about upgrading to 9. gnuradio doesn't build on NetBSD 8 -- likely due to old compiler issues. Time to upgrade. If you have packages in wip that you were hoping would be imported, right after the branch is created is a good time to bug the people who said they might import them. Especially if that was me. Thanks, Greg
