No, I would certainly not joke on this mailing list:
In some aspects the OS is even more important than religion!

I thought broken packages eventually moved to pkgsrc-wip.
That was actually one of my suggestions for the problem at hand.

I really wonder to which purpose, then.
I do understand it relates to the announcement email on netbsd-announce.

You had me look into it: https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/pkgsrc.txt

 << * TAG is either 20xxQy for a stable branch, or head for packages built from
      the HEAD branch. >>

I knew I did not make that up!
Now, one may say that MLDonkey has stably been broken :) 

Nevertheless the expectation on my side is that packages would build.


Anyways, I'll take a look and update the PR; as well as possibly run these tests on our server.


Kind regards,


Germain
