Hasso Tepper posted a note detailing some of the troubles with the recently branched 2008Q4 quarterly pkgsrc release.  The 2008Q4 release has some issues on DragonFly 2.o, and some recent changes in DragonFly caused issues, though that’s been patched for now.  The result of this is that DragonFly has a ‘soft freeze‘ around end- and mid-year release time for the ABI, to keep problems down.
