Hello,
I've submitted a number of the Perl ports for OpenBSD.
Most have an OK. New imports require a second OK.
At some point that will happen.

Sounds like you're making good progress! If you want to prepare the release of 1.8, you could have a look at our changes in dependencies, which we're keeping in the Changelog: https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/blob/master/Changelog#L71-L85

As you can see there, we dropped some dependencies for 1.8 (which is still under development); but we also introduced some new ones or upgraded existing ones.

I also submitted an issue with some suggested description improvements
to the author of Plack::Request::WithEncoding. He liked my suggestions
and that module is now at v13. There are some other dependency changes,
too, which might need to be addressed for building. Or maybe not
relevant.
Those building changes from Module::Build to Module::Build::Tiny have
now led me down the road to properly understnading those modules, so
that's going to take up a little of my time. Time that's probably well
spent.
I'll keep submitting new modules. I doubt that I'll get everything in
for this upcoming -release (OK, I'm sure I won't), but probably will get
things into -current after -release.

You could work on the dependencies for 1.7 first, as that would be a bigger motivation: it's software that is available *today*, after all.

I'm having fun so far. I hope that everyone is doing OK right now.

That's good to hear! Keep up the work! And thanks for the update.

Regards and stay healthy,

Bye,

Erik.
