--ew6BAiZeqk4r7MaW Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The ports tree is now partially unfrozen. This means: no large-scale or sweeping changes until 5.3-RELEASE is out the door, but other changes may be committed (if in doubt, ask portmgr@). Thanks for everyone's patience during the freeze - it took longer than we expected this time because of interactions with changes to the 5.3 source tree, delays in getting certain port problems fixed, and other reasons. On the plus side, at least 200 broken ports were fixed on 5.3 during the freeze, and a number of serious bugs were found and fixed during the testing period! However, what usually happens now that we're partly unfrozen is that there's a sudden mad orgy of committing as everyone gets their pent up commit urges out of their system, and the result is that a lot of ports get broken again in the week or so after the freeze. Everyone, please remember the usual testing procedures, and think twice before committing changes to make sure you don't overlook something.
