It gets updated in NetBSD current when... someone updates it. Often there is a push before a branch to update things. Bringing in new micro releases to a branch seems in the spirit of the branch, and 9.18 to 9.20 feels to me like too much. But I would say it's a judgment call, not a hard rule. > It sounds like 9.20.30 in pkgsrc is wip so I have no big complaints. > I may give it a try here myself, even though I'm pretty happy with > binary packages. wip packages get better when people test them!~
