2025Q1 freeze has ended, commit away
Hi all,
pkgsrc-2025Q1 is alive now. You can commit normally.
For the sake of transparency, since discussions happened on multiple
forums on various potential branch blockers:
1. Proposal for changing PKG_SYSCONFDIR in PHP packages:
Upon further reflection, users who have a modified php.ini will have the
changed file preserved and will need to manually migrate it to a
versioned php.ini.
Rationale for not changing things:
- This is very late in a branch, so we should prefer the known solution
with the known limitations.
- The proposed change was by riastradh@ who is not able to test it
thoroughly, and not from any person who uses php heavily.
- PHP multi-version is a very big win for PHP users.
- The first report involved a misunderstanding about php.ini being
deleted.
2. SUPERSEDED misbehaviour:
In short: it is behaving correctly enough.
if the only php package is php, `pkgin upgrade` won't do the right
thing. But if a dependency is installed, it will.
This is a bug, but it's unlikely to be a major issue affecting users.
3. Bug with PHP PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR affecting too many packages.
Fixed by gdt@, thanks.
Happy committing.
