Dear users,

From now on we are going to follow FreeBSD Ports quarterlies. That means that we should be able to provide faster fixes for CVEs and critical issues by doing incremental builds whenever possible.

This new binary package set is following 2021Q3 at August, 17th 2021.

As usual, you can use the "Bullet-proof (conflict-proof) upgrade technique" as described here:
https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/HowToDPorts/#index4h1

Users that wish to report issues with specific packages, please open an issue here: https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DPorts/issues

Developers that wish to submit fixes, please go here:
https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DeltaPorts/pulls

RELEASE-6.0
29616 packages available

Bleeding-Edge (ABI 6.2)
29635 packages available

For those who are not using the official mirror, take in account the mirrors take around 24-48h to pull all the packages.

NOTES:

* If you happen to upgrade pkg from 1.14.x to 1.16.x and above, you'll get the following error:

    pkg: Failed to execute lua script: [string "-- args:
    etc/pkg.conf.sample..."]:12: attempt to call a nil value (field 'stat')
    pkg: lua script failed
    No active remote repositories configured.

  It's a known bug, simply copy the sample mirror config file over:

    # cp /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/df-latest.conf.sample
    /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/df-latest.conf

* If you're running and old master commit (5.9) and you plan to build DPorts yourself, please make sure you have a sh(1) version with 'pipefail' supported.

  You can find out with:

     # sh -c 'set -o pipefail'

  Update your sh(1) by running as root:

     # cd /usr/src/bin/sh && make all install clean

That's the quick way, the recommended way is updating your installation as specified in build(7) manpage.
