https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D284071 Bug ID: 284071 Summary: UPDATING has references to parts of UPDATING that were trimmed Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: terry-freebsd@glaver.org /usr/ports/UPDATING on 14.2-STABLE has entries such as: 20230315: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby30 AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org The default ruby version has been updated from 3.0 to 3.1. [...] If you do not use pkg, please check entry 20190420. The description there should also work for this version. [Note: Duplicate of 277370 which was filed nearly a year ago but is still unassigned.] There are several of these in there (based on 'grep " entry" /usr/ports/UPDATING' and there are likely more that don't conform to the "entry" format. Unfortunately, /usr/ports/UPDATING has been trimmed so that the oldest entr= y is 20210113, leaving these as references to material that is no longer include= d in UPDATING. I don't know if there's a way to easily automate the detection of dangling references whenever UPDATING is trimmed, or for future changes to UPDATING = to avoid referencing entries that no longer exist. In the meantime, I suggest adding something like this to the bottom of UPDATING: --- Entries below this line are retained because they are still referenced = --- and then selectively including all of the dangling references. In a quick l= ook at the grep results, these are 20190420, 20190829, 20200811. Note that this is a proactive PR (at least as far as new FreeBSD 14 installs go) as none of the ports with dangling references have been updated yet. However, given that the ports in question are ruby*, postgresql* and *-emacs2x-* it is likely that at least one of them will be updated during t= he nearly four years remaining in FreeBSD 14 support. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
