In ports/ the primary w= ay to cooperate with each other is either via bugzilla. Other ways are too = easily lost in the noise. For one, portmgr@ encourages every ports/ contrib= utor to file a bug even for stuff submitted on phabricator. A PR is useful and necessary for a something like this, but a group PR with noisy history is no substitute for making individual contact with the most effected parties. If you only want to communicate via PRs then I can make a habit of setting maintainer-feedback to "-" immediately, but that doesn't f= eel like a constructive way to proceed. One additional point on LLVM updates, many downstream projects don't do the= ir updates to new versions until after release. This isn't great, but it's reality. In the past I've found we had better luck waiting a few weeks or = even a month so more things had been updated to support modern LLVM versions to reduce the amount of version smear in a typical pkg set. Making the LLVM_DEFAULT bump lift as many ports as possible at once is helpful in that= it reduces the number of stragglers that need to be chased down later as we tr= y to keep the number of versions under control. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
