In preparation for 8.1-RELEASE, the ports tree is now in feature freeze. Normal upgrade, new ports, and changes that only affect other branches are allowed without prior approval but with the extra Feature safe: yes tag in the commit message. Any commit that is sweeping, i.e. touches a large number of ports, infrastructural changes, commits to ports with unusually high number of dependent ports, and any other commit that requires the rebuilding of many packages is not allowed without prior explicit approval from portmgr after that date. When in doubt, please do not hesitate to contact portmgr. -- Erwin Lansing http://droso.org Prediction is very difficult especially about the future erwin@FreeBSD.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you have time, you can always help with unmaintained ports: http://qat.tecnik93.com/index.php?action=failed_buildports&maintainer=ports%40freebsd.org& or even maintained ones: http://qat.tecnik93.com/index.php?action=failed_buildports Help us getting a good, stable package set for the release please, -- IOnut - Un^d^dregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" "Intellectual Property" is nowhere near as valuable as "Intellect" FreeBSD committer -> itetcu@FreeBSD.org, PGP Key ID 057E9F8B493A297B -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
