Hi all, the KDE/FreeBSD (kde@FreeBSD.org) has some commiters that currently check in our work to the ports tree (see https://freebsd.kde.org/people.php), which to my knowledge are mainly makc and rakuco along with Alonso Schaich. All three do a really good work in carefully checking which parts to submit from our ports tree, however, the amount of ports that we maintain, prepare and test are a really large pile. Personal restraints in time available for commits and prior testing limit our productivity down to a point where a lot of port versions are done only for area51 tree and never make it to the main ports tree. Added to those circumstances are the increased speed of releases of KDE and Qt, which almost require weekly attention from our side, so we would really like to get our "done" pile loaded off to the main ports tree. To help with the situation, it would be really greatly appreciated if some commiters would actually a) help us commit and b) mentor some of us who are already doing the porting work in the area51 ports tree so we can merge more and sooner than is currently happening due to time constraints of the people who took up this task until now. As said, this is not a complaint about the people who did the commits up to now, but a realization that the time of the people who have commit access does not last to keep up with the speed of development, so we need some solution that would help us get things moving. For commiters willing to help and those who would be willing to mentor us, please contact us at #kde-freebsd and/or on kde@FreeBSD.org. Thank you for your attention. -- Kind regards, Ralf Nolden
