The chosen solution was to license XenForo; core would + like to thank the FreeBSD Foundation for paying the licensing + costs of this software.</p> + + <p>Much discussion ensued concerning the "New Support Model" + following Core's meeting at EuroBSDCon in September. It was + recognised that trying to change the model immediately before + 10.1-RELEASE was far too late, and the change will be targeted + at 11.0-RELEASE.</p> + + <p>In order to ensure that 10.1-RELEASE shipped with support for + up-to-date X Windows and KDE4, core approved the switch to 'new + Xorg' as the default in time for building the packages for that + release.</p> + + <p>Git was officially promoted from beta to an officially + supported version control system. Git is available as a + read-only resource for downstream consumers and contains an + exported copy from SVN, the primary and only read-write + repository. The &os; git repositories (exported from the + master SVN version control) will shortly be available at + https://git.freebsd.org/, and core has been active + in ensuring that there is a sufficient body of Git + administrators available with access to appropriate + documentation in order to maintain a good git service.</p> + + <p>Core mediated in disputes between a number of committers over + some updates to system sources, and fielded complaints about + code quality of some other work in critical areas. + While such disagreements will occasionally occur, core is + promoting the routine use of the phabricator service in order to + review work before committal. Catching problems early is in the + project's best interests, and discussion of changes in an open + review context should minimize confrontational demands for + immediate back-out of changes.</p> + + <p>Core is working on a charter for a proposed new QA team, to + encompass members of the Release Engineering and Security teams, + as well as committers with interests in standards compliance. + It is envisioned that the QA team will take responsibility for + merging code from HEAD into the STABLE branches, run integration + testing against those updates and handle merging patches and + bug-fixes submitted to the &os; project from third parties.</p> + + <p>During this quarter, core issued two new commit bits, and also + took two commit bits into safe-keeping.</p> + + </body> + </project> + </report>
