We are now in freeze for 2021Q2. As always, freeze end depends on how things are, but the plan is for perhaps Wednesday 6/23 around 16Z, earlier if everything seems to build, later if necessary. I put my freeze rules in the quarterly plan mostly to avoid retyping and to avoid unintended changes, but there are no significant changes from my past practice: https://www.pkgsrc.org/quarterly/ and they are: Build fixes are welcome Bug fixes (especially security fixes) are very welcome Micro updates that would be eligible and appropriate for stable branch pullups, because they fix a security bug or something serious, are ok Micro updates for packages whose recursive total depending package count is < 25 are ok For any other updates (especially under mk or pkgtools), please ask, explaining why the update furthers pkgsrc's goals of stabilty and usefulness for users. While there's no intent to completely prohibit changes, I'm concerned about impacts to platforms not tested, and I value working packages from the branch over packages being slightly newer. Testing and fixes are most welcome. Anyone willing to build from source can help by updating their tree to pkgsrc-current and building the packages that they care about, or more if they are in the mood. Thanks, Greg
