<div dir="ltr">Well, we actually dedicate two blades to doing nothing but package building, and we can use a more substantial server if we need to get it done faster (the record is roughly 22 hours for a full bulk build on the dual-xeon or the 48-core opteron box). There's also a lot of bulk building going on under-the-hood to test and stage updates before they hits distribution channels and become user-visible. That actually isn't the problem.<div><br></div><div>The real problem is that there are so many package dependencies for something like mysql that keeping up with the latest release and still making sure that all the dependent ports build is a real chore. And, I should also say, that DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD both use essentially the same base ports and we have devs with commit access to both projects. So a large chunk of the package updates should be credited to the FreeBSD devs, and a large chunk is a joint effort.</div><div><br></div><div>(Which I'm very happy about because... well, think about how much work is involved in maintaining 24000+ packages!)<br><div><br></div><div>-Matt</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 29, 2016 at 1:14 PM, jungle Boogie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jungleboogie0@gmail.com" target="_blank">jungleboogie0@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On 29 August 2016 at 12:15, John Marino <<a href="mailto:dragonflybsd@marino.st">dragonflybsd@marino.st</a>> wrote:<br>

So that means you update packages and its dependencies? I'm asking<br>
because I noticed sqlite3 was not updated but there was a release of<br>
3.14.0 on 8th of August. There's now a 3.14.1 release from the 11th.<br>
<br>
By the way, I'm very appreciative of and for the packaging of all<br>
these packages. Updating 13,900+ ports in 3 days is very intensive on<br>
your system that could be utilized for something else. Thank you!<br>
