Entering carefulperiod 2 for 2025Q4 (Dec 2 - 15)
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 enteringthe second careful period,
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:
- rust
- firefox
- gtk3
- wayland
- cmake
- non-micro updates to pbulk, distcc, ccache, and similar things that
have non-trivial use to build packages at scale
- non-micro updates to widely-used non-versioned languages (e.g. perl
5.X->5.X+1, ocaml)
- changing the default version of versioned languages and systems
(e.g. go, guile, php, python, ruby, postgresql, mysql)
- non-micro updates to packages with more than 500 (recursive)
dependencies
The restrictions of careful period 1 still apply:
- 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.
