Hi,
I spent a bit of time investigating the Git Cirrus-CI failures on FreeBSD.
It seems something goes wrong with the Perl installation, as most failures
are in t9001-send-email.sh, and the error messages are:
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.32/mach/CORE/libperl.so.5.32: Undefined symbol "strerror_l@FBSD_1.6"
The first instance is in t9001.6. (See for example [1]).
I know next to nothing about Perl or FreeBSD, but simply changing our image
to FreeBSD 13.0 makes all failures in t9001 disappear [2]:
diff --git a/.cirrus.yml b/.cirrus.yml

Is this something that we should do ? Or should we stick to FreeBSD 12
and try to debug this installation problem ?
Cheers,

Ah, what happened here is that this is picking up the perl package
built on 12.3 (i.e., the earliest supported FreeBSD 12.x) which added
strerror_l.

I expect this could have been addressed also by updating to 12.3.
Cirrus also supports "matrix" so both could be tested.

OK, so it is expected that the Cirrus 12.2 image would install this newer
version of the perl package which if I understand correctly is not compatible
with this version ?
Is there a way to tell pkg not to update packages to incompatible versions,
or is the FreeBSD policy that as soon as a release is marked as unsupported,
then no guarantee is made that things (like installing packages) continue working
on that version ?

For now we opted to just update to 12.3, see [1].
Thanks for your answer,
Philippe.

Sorry for a noise, but I would also be curious to know, as it is
quite unexpected for a packaging system to miss such a compatibility
issue and for a distro to not care.

Indeed we did. Let's make sure we fast-track the topic down to
'master' and possibly to 'maint'. I do not think it is worth
letting it sit in 'next' for a week, like we do for usual topics.
Thanks.
P.S. I'll be offline today (like every other Tuesday).

I am very much in favor of merging this down into `maint`, as every PR run
of GitGitGadget's PRs fails right now (and some new contributors already
were worried about this).
Thanks,
Dscho
