Preparing for pkgsrc-2026Q1 - avoid problematic changes
Hi all,
Per the instructions in https://pkgsrc.org/quarterly/ we should now
start the first stage of preparing for the new branch.
The following changes will now require 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
Changes to other packages are OK and don't require approval.
Additional restrictions will be added and communicated on March 1
(they're also documented in the quarterly URL above).
I intend to start a pkgsrc freeze around March 14/15.
Thanks!
