--DocE+STaALJfprDB Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In response to feedback from committers, the portmgr team has revised its approval policy for CVS repository copy requests. The primary need for repo copies to be brought to the attention of portmgr is so that we have a chance to comment on inappropriate copy requests prior to their enaction (e.g. commenting on naming conventions, unnecessary or inappropriate copies, etc), to prevent the CVS meisters from doing unnecessary extra work which may later need to be undone or revised. Since this is an advisory function only, there is no need for portmgr's explicit approval of each repo copy request. The new policy is that repo copy requests must be submitted simultaneously to portmgr@FreeBSD.org and cvs@FreeBSD.org. A 24 hour waiting period then begins for portmgr to comment on the request, if necessary. After 24 hours, or if explicit approval is given before this time, the request is considered to be approved and the CVS team can perform the copy. If the 24 hour waiting period extends over the weekend (i.e. after 5pm Friday, US Pacific time) then it is extended until 5pm Monday, US Pacific Time, to reflect the fact that portmgr members may be unavailable over the weekend. We believe that this policy represents a good balance between the desire to prevent unnecessary repo copies and the needs of FreeBSD committers for timely action.
