Hello all, Does anybody know what is the actual problem behind this? I had to switch quarterly to latest on 13.2 last week because perl5.32 didn't have EOL tag on quarterly. So I wasn't able to upgrade perl5 from perl5.32 to perl5.34 smoothly by "pkg upgrade" and I decided to switch to latest. And then I realized the package update frequency on latest is much worse than quarterly. It hasn't been updated for more than 1 month.
