Due to some last minute breakage that was crammed into -current over the past week, combined with hardware problems, the bento cluster has not been in good shape for package builds, so we decided to hold off for a day or two to try and get things stabilized. At this point I'm still trying to get the various bento machines in working condition. We will probably start the freeze in a day or two - I hope to have a better idea once I see how the bento machines are holding up. The good news is that because the ports collection is currently in relatively good shape, we will not need to have a long freeze to focus developer attention onto fixing broken ports. At this point, we're thinking of a freeze duration of a week or so, but obviously that is subject to change depending on how things work out. The bottom line is: Please make any commits you want to be part of 5.2-RELEASE in the next 24 hours, because the freeze will be starting at some point after that, and there will be little opportunity for revision during the short freeze cycle. Thanks, Kris and Marcus, your freezemasters --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/vCqhWry0BWjoQKURAqQLAJ0RY8l+RLtQYPfY6oPtIIubai5nEQCgrlaw Y6Mut9fORFpLqvaNXwiIK+c= =hbpX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c--
