) The package cluster always lags almost every the commit. ) The package build machines synchronize their ports trees in ways that use the same tree on multiple builders, despite notable differences in build times on various machines. ) Thus a package bulk build normally starts with a somewhat old ports tree and by the time it is done building, that ports tree is even older. ) This is a bigger issue for "latest" than for "quarterly" because "latest" builds far more per bulk run generally and such takes longer on any specific builder. ) There is also the time to get the updates to the distribution servers around the world after the build. Sometimes that is another notable delay. Note: the above are general comments that suggest the result may not be surprising. I did not analyze the specifics for the timing related to db5 and pcre . -- === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
