Month: 2025-09 — Summary of work for jasperla/openbsd-wip focused on deprecation and repository hygiene. Removed an obsolete GCC 12 port to align with GCC 15 and streamline maintenance across the repository. The cleanup eliminates redundant artifacts (Makefiles, distinfo, patches, and package fragments) and consolidates tooling around current toolchains.

In 2025-08, jasperla/openbsd-wip delivered a stable GCC 15 toolchain across multiple architectures for OpenBSD, with packaging readiness and a clean release target. The work unified multi-arch support (aarch64/arm64/amd64 and PowerPC), adjusted packaging, headers, and versioning, and bumped to 15.2.0, setting the stage for a reliable OpenBSD release. Alongside, bootstrap and runtime fixes for GCC 15 were implemented to improve build reliability with Clang, define default build options (PIE_DEFAULT/CF_DEFAULT), correct cross-referencing for OpenMP/OpenACC/gcov/intrinsics, and backport Ada time_t sizing for OpenBSD runtime compatibility. These efforts collectively enhance release confidence, runtime stability, and downstream packaging experiences for users and developers.

November 2024 (Month: 2024-11) focused on strengthening ODBC integration in erlang/otp. Delivered ODBC Configuration Enhancements that prioritize iodbc when available and correctly honor --with-odbc=PATH to ensure proper include paths and library linking. These changes simplify installation, improve build reliability for OTP when iodbc is present or when custom ODBC installations are used, and lay groundwork for broader ODBC configurability. No critical bugs reported; implemented changes are designed to reduce setup friction and improve CI stability.
