FYI: Please CC me, as im not subscribed to the list.

During the freeze all commits must be approved by the RE (Release Engineer), so they decide what goes in and what does not. If a port wasn't working at all, there is obviously a reason to fix it even during the ports freeze, the other reason would be security fixes, etc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
