In this case, 'ports committer' refers to the right to commit to the ports tree only. Although this is not enforced by the CVS scripts, it's easy to imagine that it might be in the future. > What's the process for becoming a src or docs committer if you were > originally approved by portsmgr and not by core? The procedure being used, when it comes up, is to go through the same procedure process for any non-committer, via a core@ vote and assignment of a mentor. I expect that that procedure will be formalized at some point. It should be noted that in the past, there have been a number of developers who have 'drifted' categories without a formal process, and that may be something we choose to limit that in the future and require a formal transition. Given that many ports committers have mentors who are also ports committers, assigning a src committer to them for the transition makes a lot of sense: there's a whole different set of rules, toes, etc. Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Project robert@fledge.watson.org NAI Labs, Safeport Network Services To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
