For pkgsrc, the automatic creating of the latest pkgsrc quarter branch
was removed from /usr/Makefie a few months ago. I think we need to put
it back. Each release (IMO) should update /usr/Makefile to
automatically create the latest branch as well as the master branch and
it should default to the quarterly. We've seen some several issues
where new users unfamiliar with git built on the master branch when the
quarterly was more appropriate. I think we need to adjust this for the
release.

That sort of implies DragonFly 3.4 will get pkgsrc binaries too, just
sometime after the release. Is this correct?
Thanks,
John
