You could also have used the quarterly branch, which keeps software till
the end of the quarter. In the case of php 5.6 it would have given you
time until March 31st, and would have included version 5.6.40
5.6.40 never made it into the main ports tree. Are you sure it was
available in the quarterly snapshot?
I am sure. You can check for yourself using the svnweb interface at the
FreeBSD website; php 5.6.40 was added to the 2019Q1 branch on Jan 26th
Thanks, Wolfgang, for pointing that out.
Up to now I always thought of quarterly as a static snapshot of the main
ports tree made at a given point in time.
No, quarterly gets security fixes, just no "feature updates". That's why
we use it in production, so we have to handle potentially breaking
changes only once a quarter.
OK. Where did 5.6.40 come from?
I just looked at the ports repo and it was NEVER committed there. The very
last commit to ports/head/lang/php56 was 5.6.39. Whil it has no impact on
me, I find it very odd to find a package that never existed in ports. That
makes it impossible for me to access the source for this package and
recreate it for any reason. My gut feeling is that this is broken and
should never happen.
It was committed on the 2019Q1 branch only, because HEAD didn't have the
php56 port anymore at that time.
