Can DragonFlyBSD folks comment on the status of O/S and package
development?

I ask because the last gcc update on my DragonFlyBSD 6.4.0 system was
for version 12.2.0 on 29-Jul-2024, and the last clang update was
version 14.0.6 on 2-Aug-2024.  My kernel is dated 30-Dec-2022.

Recent FreeBSD releases have clang-21 and gcc-15, and the
LLVM/Clang download site at

	https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/

has binaries for some systems up to LLVM 20.1.0-rc2.

The site at

	https://www.dragonflybsd.org/download/

was last updated on 1-Jan-2023, 26 months ago.

I run updates on my active VMs every 2 to 4 weeks, and I have not had
any updates for DragonFlyBSD 6.4.0 since 15-Oct-2024.

Are other DragonFlyBSD list members also seeing a lull in O/S and
package releases?
