Hi there, We are evaluating FreeBSD for deploying our Elixir applications. We tend = to use the latest available Elixir release. I am just getting familiar with FreeBSD=E2=80=99s over all process. My = understanding is that packages are in quarterly and latest branches. I noticed that when 1.12.3 was released, the elixir port was updated = only a few weeks later, and was available via pkg install. That may be = because it was released on Sep 30 = (https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/lang/elixir?h=3D2022Q2&id=3Dc8cbc6= 75c0dbc1c2e9e916ce4594a5d1e6387a57), = the last day of the quarter. If I were to submit a patch to update elixir to 1.13.4, would it only be = available in main through the end of June, after which it would make it = into quarterly? We likely prefer quarterly for most of our packages, but would want a = current elixir. I=E2=80=99m wondering how we can best accomplish that - = whether it=E2=80=99s possible with pkg, or if we should consider using as= df to = install erlang and elixir, or some other approach. Thanks, Pat
