<p>As of the end of Q3 the ports tree holds a bit more
than 25,000 ports, and the PR count is above 2,000.
The summer period saw less activity on the ports tree
than during the previous quarter, with fewer than 7,000
commits performed by 120 active committers.
Unfortunately, the number of problem reports closed
also decreased significantly, with fewer than 1,500
problem reports fixed during Q3.</p>
<p>In Q3 several commit bits were taken in for safekeeping,
following an inactivity period of more than 18 months (fluffy), or
on committer's request (xmj, stefan, brix). One new developer was
granted a ports commit bit (&a.junovitch.email;), and one returning
committer (&a.farrokhi;) had his commit bit reinstated.</p>
<p>On the management side, no changes were made to the
portmgr team during Q3.</p>
<p>On the QA side, 25 exp-runs were performed to validate
sensitive updates or cleanups. Amongst those, the noticeable
changes are the update to <tt>pkg</tt> 1.6, the <tt>automake14</tt>
removal, and several important ports updates such as
<tt>doxygen</tt> to 1.8.10, <tt>gnome3</tt> to 3.16,
<tt>cmake</tt> to 3.3.1, and the Qt4 ports to 4.8.7. The default
jdk was also set to <tt>openjdk8</tt>. Some infrastructure
changes included the addition of new options helpers:
<tt>opt_VARS</tt>, <tt>opt_VARS_OFF</tt>, <tt>opt_IMPLIES</tt>,
and <tt>opt_PREVENTS</tt>. Some macros were also removed, such as
<tt>UNIQUENAME</tt> and <tt>LATEST_LINK</tt>.

<p>We would like to remind everyone that the ports tree is
built and run by volunteers, and any help is greatly appreciated.
This is more important than ever, since the number of problem
reports cannot seem to stop increasing. So if you use ports or
packages, please consider jumping in and helping! This is also
true for existing porters: it would be great if you would consider
the next step, that is to share your knowledge and mentor someone
more junior with the ports tree internals. And if you already do
these tasks, many thanks to you!
