However, pkgsrc contributors as a group +share both a bugtracker and norms about what is ok to break and what +is not. To describe these norms, we define levels of concern, keeping +in mind that there are no guarantees: + + SUPPORTED doesn't mean that anyone is required to fix your problem; it + means that we agree that it is broadly desireable that such problems + be fixed and that we therefore allow them to be listed in our issue + tracker. + + DEPRECATED means that individual problems are not of interest, but + pkgsrc overall working is of enough interest to be allowed to be + listed in the issue tracker. + + IGNORED means we are not willing to expend issue tracker resources + (clutter for those reviewing the db) at all. + +Given the above definitions, the pkgsrc developers label versions of +Mac OS X as follows: + + 10.6: current, PRs may be filed. Structurally breaking pkgsrc on 10.6 + is considered not ok. [SUPPORTED] + + 10.5: old, but PRs may still be filed. Structurally breaking pkgsrc on + 10.5 is considered not ok. [SUPPORTED] + + 10.4: very old, and individual pkg PRs may be bounced to authors to + retest with newer versions, and closed if that doesn't happen + in 14 days. We will for now consider structurally breaking + pkgsrc on 10.4 to be undesirable.
