Instead of placing a freeze or slush on HEAD, we will just create a branch and leave HEAD alone. The idea is to lessen the long freeze/slush on head and move us towards quicker ports releases. This branch will be created on August 12th. Please be cautious with the tree until then so it remains stable. Normally we would make this an official slush period, but we are behind schedule on this and have not given enough notice. The 9.2 branch will be frozen [1]. Only license, build, security and critical fixes will be allowed in the 9.2 branch. All changes must be approved by portmgr@ to the branch with a commit line of: Approved by: portmgr (name) This may require slight rework of patches when applied to the branch as it may deviate far from head. The idea is to apply the minimal amount of changes to the branch to stabilize and secure it. Portmgr will have no sweeping slush policy on head, but other teams may wish to enact such a policy on their ports. I.e., kde or gnome ports may want to have a slush to make their job easier should a large security update come out during the rc2->release phase. We leave that to individual teams. Summary: * We will copy /head to /branches/RELENG_9_2_0 on August 12th * HEAD is open to all commits (no slush or sweeping policy) * Only portmgr-approved changes may go into /branches/ under the frozen tree policy [1] * Only license, build, security and critical fixes are allowed * Packages will be built from /branches/RELENG_9_2_0 [1] http://www.freebsd.org/portmgr/policies_committing.html --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery, on behalf of portmgr --nwvxjlWun46XELWxR1Uwg5je4xOPvuPBW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSBZoEAAoJEG54KsA8mwz5E0gP+weY/JANuymd1c5Ybsfz9jhS /2+uLlkqcrBUEKZVCxtaD5hyM5tDKlBB88rCHHqI17ysydGoDQ50zstDgkyq6uIw jhXEk/0IS5gsjc2ABpdKv7H7OkBZS+xR9qlTdqkAFUuD/L/7Hwd7BhWQBsxgZUlW JzJa+0mfPC5byfdem854hW0UKkozyBGBUhwqBkOEZGTRd6GKRm/EjsVYF+dqve4t tpytOmiBfIix6lapjd9k5YA1OVjeXODM7yiGQ9n/ioXoQHp93O0qv10ngsmjhort 7o/yGfemw0UvHWwbn0aYwZKIfg2wU7m+X1tLxv8zgFdOIivXb+xbP0IEhTIublX3 jCu6SWZ/1rl0k26bZUx4ycogi/n3BLn8CGm3GfiqpZtdjK+ejqhzVu91fFagtoHz rNWKsIpBOUZqdmjECL6vESFCySHjivmTSbEQcCZFK3jIa4niKyYvtKWIy9xWbQOa Pws27y0KHKISQk4GQfr+W/x2vwZJK+OsyCJdMgmunBW94EVkihMl3M2M9jZhb0dS 3VE29KL6/FEtRjW3ru02ClIkMe0YKegZxjc4xlWQwzaWCsMIJUCB0Ba6gFFncyr3 VZRd43EX2P+kCWNCGuinsHG7b24hu8xQoDidA3fQeez7epuHJMITdK/wMvIP30U2 M3gDmcXOut1+pF5tXJ/l =IRGj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nwvxjlWun46XELWxR1Uwg5je4xOPvuPBW--
