I noticed subversion bumped due to a vuxml vulnerability. It built but did not install,
pkg-static not found [five or so files] ... in STAGE...
reinstalled the earlier version by "pkg install subversion"
Could STAGE >> << PKG installs be developed and tested further so that this would never happen? It
did not used to under the old packaging system and is a regression in reliability* it seems, especially for
overnight production machine upgrades where the earlier package may not to found, or not compatible with
other ports upgraded in the same session.
Something like a test-stage-INSTALL before .build-done so the error is caught earlier. Seems like a missing in
the stage coding requirements. Can't help from here, never tried to stage/maintain a port.
***reliability for production***
