--pZs/OQEoSSbxGlYw Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Dear Porters, I will be laying down the ports tag for 5.0-R sometime on the first of January, 2003 (probably around 10 AM UTC, but maybe later depending on my availability). Please have any remaining port fixes committed by this time: it is possible in most cases to slide the tag afterwards, but since I'm on vacation I'm not going to do too much of that except for urgent fixes. At that time the ports collection will be open for port upgrades and other changes; however bear in mind that I cannot slide the 5.0 tag if there is an intervening commit like a port upgrade, and then a second commit such as a security fix that you want re-tagged. Therefore please DO NOT perform any of the following: * tree-wide or other large-scale sweeps * commits to bsd.*.mk * upgrades of large port subsets like GNOME or KDE If in doubt, ask me. The tree will be completely thawed when 5.0-RELEASE is released. Thankyou to everyone for their continued patience during this unusually long ports freeze: it has been difficult, but the results have been worth it (several hundred broken ports have been fixed - I will have a final count in a few days). My special thanks to everyone who submitted port fixes: you have made a direct and valuable contribution to the quality of 5.0-RELEASE!
