We are now in a period of pre-release slush which means no sweeping changes, large imports, etc. However, you no longer need portmgr approval prior to committing unless you feel your commit may be in conflict with the slush guidelines. On a lighter note, ahze pointed out on irc the other day how much kris looks like Rob Halford from Judas Priest (see the guy leading the conversation at http://www.db.net/gallery/bsdcan_2005/bsdcan_2005-Images/26.jpg). To that end, I offer the following release song. Pretend Kris is singing it. Breaking the Ports - ------------------ pointyhat was busy building packages and ports. Ports committers so frustrated 'cause they can commit no more. Wait until the ports tree thaws and the slush begins; Sweeping changes, and INDEX failures, the breakage never ends.
