--Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable As you know, we are now in 5.1-BETA. However, since we've spent so much time in ports freeze over the last 6 months I'm not planning to have an extended freeze period. What will probably happen is that we'll freeze a week or so before the final release date just to build packages and make any final changes to the tree. =20 However, this does not mean that it's open season on ports. Please bear in mind that we are in a release cycle, and large-scale changes should not be made without coordination with portmgr. I'm hoping to get another round of bsd.port.mk changes in by then, but since I'm not getting assistance from the other members of portmgr I don't know how extensive they'll be. Also, please take EXTRA care to ensure that the tree remains buildable at all times. INDEX has been broken for the past 2 days because of a careless series of commits (and the committer is not responding to email), so I'm going to have to fix it myself so I can get on with building packages.
