On June 31st, all unstaged ports will be marked DEPRECATED and have their MAINTAINER reset. On August 31st, all unstaged ports will be removed from the ports tree. Read on for more details. Staging is when the port installs into the work directory instead of into /. From here a package can be created without ever installing into / and often as a user without root. This also gives us abilities to improve quality of packages and opens up opportunities for sub-packages in the future. With staging we have had the ability to add in-tree testing of plists which in the past required a tool such as porttools, Tinderbox or Poudriere. A guide for converting your port to Staging can be found at: https://wiki.freebsd.org/ports/StageDir Staging is also mentioned throughout the Porters Handbook. You can test your plist with: Add DEVELOPER=3Dyes to /etc/make.conf # make stage # make check-plist However, Poudriere should be used to test staging conversions as it is much more strict than the in-tree checks currently. It will detect if something installs outside of the STAGEDIR. Poudriere 3.0.16 (just released) should be used for this testing, or the latest -devel version. Out of the more than 24,000 ports there remains 4,170 ports not yet staged. Staging is not optional. We must have all staged to progress with the framework, new features, and automated testing. We recently granted blanket approval to committers to stage ports without maintainer approval and then also blocked updates to unstaged ports in the hopes that this would force more ports to be converted. However with so many ports remaining unstaged at this point it is unknown if these ports are actually being maintained. So we will be DEPRECATING and resetting maintainer on all unstaged ports on June 31st. These ports will be set to EXPIRE on August 31st and will then be removed from the tree. They will not be restored unless someone stages them as well. This decision was not easy, but if a port is not being staged after almost a year, we wonder if the ports are actually maintained and updated for releases and security issues. If you have an unstaged port you will begin to receive email notifications informing you of this until it is staged or maintainer is reset. If you have a port that is unstaged, please stage it. If you do not have interest in maintaining it anymore then please release it. If you are using ports that are not staged please step up and send a PR today to stage the port and keep it.
