Everyone, So now that we've started the release cycle process (thanks, David!) I am wondering what the plans are for getting 1.8 packages into various distributions. I did the Homebrew formula for MacOS X and I'm glad to do it for 1.8. But I am wondering what other operating systems we should target. Ones that come to mind are:
- Various RPM-based distributions (Fedora, RedHat, CentOS, Rocky, and I am sure others) - Debian (and anything else that uses .deb files) - FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD 'ports' systems I am sure there are others. I guess I am wondering what needs to be done to "turn the crank" so 1.8 makes it into the packaging distributions. I know for Homebrew once the pull request is accepted all Homebrew users should get the new version relatively quickly, and I think the ports systems are similar but I don't know what needs to happen for the others. --Ken
