Folks,

Over in the src/ tree they're now in a code freeze for the next 15 days
in the run up to the release of FreeBSD 3.3.  This means no new features
should be merged in to the -stable branch without clearance from Jordan
first.

Because the doc/ tree is not branched for releases this will not affect
us too much.  In particular, I'm happy for changes to the content of the
documentation under doc/ to carry on as normal.

However, part of the FreeBSD release process includes making the 
documentation, which means that "make release" is dependent on our make(1)
infrastructure working properly.

I believe it's working properly at the moment.  If it breaks between now
and the 15th I'll have Jordan shouting at me, so, if you have changes
to the Makefiles or *.mk files, please can you funnel them through me
for review first (e.g., Neil's splitting up of docprog.docbook.mk, which
I'm examining now).

Thanks,

N
