https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D271984 Bug ID: 271984 Summary: lang/perl5.32 / lang/perl5.34: Switch default version - 5.32 End of Support Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: mat@FreeBSD.org Reporter: i.dani@outlook.com Assignee: mat@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(mat@FreeBSD.org) Perl 5.32 currently still is the default for the portstree: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk#n107 Perl 5.36 has been released, which means, Perl 5.32 is end of support and o= nly gets updates best effort. See: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#MAINTENANCE-AND-SUPPORT Quote: "We "officially" support the two most recent stable release series. 5.30.x = and earlier are now out of support. As of the release of 5.36.0, we will "officially" end support for Perl 5.32.x, other than providing security upd= ates as described below. To the best of our ability, we will attempt to fix critical issues in the t= wo most recent stable 5.x release series. Fixes for the current release series take precedence over fixes for the previous release series. To the best of our ability, we will provide "critical" security patches / releases for any major version of Perl whose 5.x.0 release was within the p= ast three years. We can only commit to providing these for the most recent .y release in any 5.x.y series." IMHO Perl 5.34 should be the new default and there should be an exp-run asa= p. Thanks for taking a look at it! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
