2025-11-09: libserf1-1.3.10-2 (High-performance HTTP client library)
The serf library is a C-based HTTP client library built upon the Apache
Portable Runtime (APR) library. It multiplexes connections, running the
read/write communication asynchronously. Memory copies and
transformations are kept to a minimum to provide high performance
operation.

libserf1: misc patches; still hangs self-test on 26.0/arm2025-11-08: libapr.0-shlibs-1.7.6-1 (Apache Portable Runtime shared libraries)
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and
maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent
interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal
is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured
of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on
which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code
special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of
platform-specific deficiencies or features.

yt-dlp v2025.10.222025-11-06: libdbi-shlibs-0.8.3-5 (Database Independent Abstraction Layer for C)
libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the
DBI/DBD layer in Perl. Writing one generic set of code, programmers can
leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database
connections by using this framework.
The plugin architecture allows for new database drivers to be easily added by a
third party with flexbile licensing. See the libdbi-drivers project
(http://libdbi-drivers.sourceforge.net) for the drivers officially
supported by libdbi.

libdbi: fix build on Tahoe; turn off old-libversion headers pkg2025-11-06: librrd4-shlibs-1.4.4-6 (Fixed-size "round-robin" database storage)
RRD is a system to store and display time-series data (i.e. network bandwidth,
machine-room temperature, server load average). It stores the data in a very
compact way that will not expand over time, and it presents useful graphs by
processing the data to enforce a certain data density. It can be used either
via simple wrapper scripts (from shell or Perl) or via frontends that poll
network devices and put a friendly user interface on it.

netcdf-c7: dist restrict due to Xcode stringency changes2025-11-04: netcdf-c7-4.3.3.1-8 (Array-based data access, C headers and docs)
The netCDF (network Common Data Form) library defines a machine-independent
format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface, library,
and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data.
This package provides libraries, documentation and examples for interfacing
with C code.
For libraries, documentation and examples for interfacing
with C++ install the`netcdf-cxx4' package.
