Our thought is to do a slush more than a freeze for this release. That means the ports tree will be opened for BUG FIXES ONLY (no upgrades unless previously approved by portmgr@) when the freeze goes into effect. Here is our tentative schedule. This has been added to the main 4.9-RELEASE schedule at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/schedule.html, and will show up when the website builds again. 19 August 2003 - Announce the schedule [DONE] 10 September 2003 - *Ports tree frozen* 19 September 2003 - Ports tree tagged 19 September 2003 - Final build begins TBD - Ports tree unfrozen (this will happen when a successful build as been completed) I will be sending another reminder out when we get closer to the freeze date.
