I have already packaged the 1.8-RC1 in pkgsrc-wip to more easily test and update it and at least on NetBSD/amd64 current-ish (9.99.98) all tests passes. And yeah, at least for pkgsrc updating should be quick. Thanks!
Plans for distribution updates
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
