The start of the freeze was delayed for several reasons; one of them is ade's big libtool commit, which will be going in to the tree shortly, after much testing. We're still planning on a 2 week freeze, but we'll know how things are going later on. Remember, this time we're doing the 6.1 and 5.5 release cycles simultaneously, so all ports users and developers should take this time to carefully test their favourite ports and packages on those two releases, if possible. There are currently many ports that are known to be broken. The main purpose of freezing the tree is so that developers can focus on this situation, so please check http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/ and work on submitting fixes for some of the ports broken on these two branches. Many of them require only a few minutes of care and attention from a loving developer, and they'll be as good as new!!
