   Just to clarify, you just tried to install deluge-cli and pkg did the 
right thing gathering all these dependencies at once instead of you 
manually requesting each?

 
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/security/py-cryptography/Makefile?h=2024Q3&id=f02bbcb4046ca0f792a091c4b29e35a4584b6545 
shows when it was upgraded to 42 on quarterly (and has had several 
version bumps since).

   If building/running py-openssl-23 with the newer py-cryptography-42 
fails, then py-openssl either should be patched to work, upgraded to 
work, or marked broken if it is in a completely unusable state or builds 
fail. Downgrading "could" be an option, but I'm not sure how they would 
want to go about that; requires a ,# version bump for quarterly and 
latest or a falsely labeled version. If this issue is happening, then 
the two maintainers + a committer should be in the loop.

   As I haven't found anything in 
https://portsfallout.com/fallout?port=&maintainer=&env=133amd64-quarterly&category=&flavor=py311 
I presume it is not a failing build issue. Do you have logs or output of 
what is failing?

   13.3 and 13.4 don't use different ports trees for packaging; both 
should get latest and quarterly as separate package sets. Unless 
anything has changed, 13.4 won't have packages made for it until 3 
months after 13.4's release + 3 months, which is when 13.3 becomes EOL. 
13.4 uses 13.3's packages in the meantime. The latest and quarterly 
packages are made at different times which is just a question of when a 
build job is sent to the servers (sets the versions built) + when it 
completes (and any delay for oversight/distribution) so sometimes 
comparing the ports trees vs the packages you can see a mismatch and 
sometimes quarterly could have a package faster than latest.

I haven't tested that software nor confirmed version dependencies. The 
ports tree shows the versions in the trees as mentioned but does not 
have a version requirement checked for dependencies.
