The last quarter of 2017 ended with over 27,000 ports in the + repository. There are currently just under 2,800 open ports + PRs with 685 of them unassigned. There were 6,700 commits + made by 178 committers. The statistics did not change much + since last quarter, however the number of unassigned PRs + dropped slightly.

+ +

This quarter, we welcomed Yuri Victorovich (yuri@), Jason + Bacon (jwb@), and Wolfram Scheider (wosch@) as new or + returning port committers. No commit bits were taken in for + safekeeping.

+ +

Portmgr, together with postmaster@, changed the policy of the + FreeBSD-ports@ mailing list. It is now required to be + subscribed to the list before one can post to it. This will + help in reducing spam on this list and help users finding + better questions to their answers while browsing the list + archive.

+ +

This quarter ports "flavors" went live. Flavors + can be used to build multiple variations of a port, for + example py27-sarge and py36-sarge. All + Python ports and some other ports are now flavored. Other + uses of flavors could be including or excluding X11 + (foo vs foo-x11 or foo-nox11) or + selecting the printer paper size (A4 vs letter).

+ +

USES=fmake has been removed as it was no longer + useful.

+ +

Some default versions got updated: Ruby to 2.4 and Samba to + 4.6. Firefox got updated to version 57.0.3 and pkg to + 1.10.3.

+ +

During the last quarter, antoine@ ran 33 exp-runs to validate changes + to the base system, fix Qt5 ports, test Python flavors and other port + updates, and make rubygem port builds reproducible.

+ + + + Clang 6 is being imported into base. There is a PR that keeps track + of ports failing with this compiler, see PR 224669. If you use + any ports mentioned here, please consider fixing them. + +
