Hi Miroslav,

Please see my email titled: "Quarterly backport for multimedia/x265 patch" sent to this list a few hours before yours. Shortly after sending it, the patch was committed to 2024Q3. Builders will have to catch up, but hopefully things can be resolved.

I do feel like this could have been caught and fixed faster with some better alerting. I've heard of pkg-fallout and know little of it, but maybe it should have noticed this? Or did it? I have no idea.

I know it's a terrible experience when pkg is wanting to remove your desktop packages in bulk.

Sincerely,

Henrich
