Ports committers are now able to perform regular updates, business as usual, no need for portmgr@ approvals. Keep in mind that -exp runs are always a good idea if you think there is a significant change to the ports tree. It is anticipated that a FreeBSD 9.2 release schedule could be upon us quickly so we have elected to lift the slush period a little sooner than planned. We would like committers and maintainers alike to work on keeping the ports tree in shape for the next cycle. Additionally, we also have a FreeBSD 10.0 release coming up in the unspecified future, and many ports have work-arounds applied for them to work with autotools and for Clang. We would like all porters to use this extra time to ensure their ports build on 10.X, and work with upstream support to integrate FreeBSD related patches. As always, this is not a reason to break the INDEX, please exercise due diligence before performing all commits.
