Hi! > The PR 289853 regarding updating net/OpenBGPd8 to the last minor > release of the branch has been stale for over 4 months now.
Sorry for the hold-up, committed. > Version 9 has been released at 30-12-2025 and I created PR 292055 the > same day, after verifying this version builds, installs and runs fine > and is yet another smooth drop-in-upgrade. Thanks, committed. > Regarding the 'new port for each major release' practice: > As I wrote in PR 292055, IIRC this stems from a major release that > introduced breaking changes in the config syntax. Since the syntax has > been considered stable for many versions now, we might want to drop > that practice and move to a 'net/OpenBGPd' port that always holds the > latest release - which is the only one supported by upstream anyways. > At the very least we should deprecate/remove the ancient releases 5-7 > (ASAP). 5 and 6 are no longer in the ports. > @Kurt Jaeger: I see that you are quite busy and involved in a lot of > PRs. (Again: Thanks for all the work!) > We are an active user of OpenBGPd (currently on 11 hosts in production; > 6 FreeBSD + 5 OpenBSD) and I could spare some time @work to keep the > port updated and test patches and new releases (I'm already doing that > in our build environment anyways). So I'm open to taking maintainership > for OpenBGPd if this is helpful. Thanks, will change it (soonish). -- [email protected] +49 171 3101372 Now what ?
