I co-maintain the pkgsrc entry for qgis (and also look after proj, gdal, postgis). pkgsrc uses gmake because there are file names with spaces (json help), and there is some quoting problem with BSD make. (Also because of the present issue with $ quoting.) pkgsrc currently has 3.10.7 (yes, I kno

Another thought is the spectre of "long term stable" OS releases. In various projects, I run into people who choose to run old software (otherwise known as "using a LTS distribution"), but at the same time insist on compiling the most recent release of X, and they expect X to build against old thi
