Dear ports team, As you may have heard, the release of 2.1 is going out soon. We had thud reinstalled from scratch with the 9/28 snap, and I will start building the packages tomorrow (that is 10/3 or 3/10 for you non-Americans). We will not have a "code freeze" this time, but please consider yourself highly restrained when it comes to committing code to the ports area. I will be copying packages over to the ftp site for testing as they are built, and once it's up there, I would not want to see the original port touched except for bug fixes. It is especially true for ports that are depended upon by many other ports -- things like an upgrade of jpeg from ver. 5 to ver. 6 are not welcome at this point. If you have a new port that you want to put into 2.1, please contact me asap. But please read section 4.3 of the handbook first, that will save me a great deal of time. I'll be sending build failure reports to this list, so please watch this space closely. Also, it will be great if you can get the snap installed to test the packages. Thanks for your help, and let's get this the best ports release ever! Satoshi P.S.
