Entering careful period 1 for 2025Q4 (Nov 15 - Dec 1)
Hi all,
I'll be the release manager for 2025Q4, and I'm following the
https://www.pkgsrc.org/quarterly/ guidelines for branching.
Per these instructions, we are now starting one of two increasingly
more careful periods, in the hopes of having a successful Q4 branch.
If you are planning to update any of the following packages, you will
need PMC or release manager approval:
- any package always needing approval (boost, gmake, qt5) -
the standard answer will be wait until after the branch
- any change in mk that is intended to result in build failures
(typically for things that were warnings before)
- clang/llvm (New versions almost always are backwards incompatible.)
- poppler* (frequent API changes)
- Any package with a history of a troubled update in the last 3 years:
glib2
py-sip6
Thank you.
