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.

+ +

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.

+ +

On the management side, no changes were made to the + portmgr team during Q3.

+ +

On the QA side, 25 exp-runs were performed to validate + sensitive updates or cleanups. Amongst those, the noticeable + changes are the update to pkg 1.6, the automake14 + removal, and several important ports updates such as + doxygen to 1.8.10, gnome3 to 3.16, + cmake to 3.3.1, and the Qt4 ports to 4.8.7. The default + jdk was also set to openjdk8. Some infrastructure + changes included the addition of new options helpers: + opt_VARS, opt_VARS_OFF, opt_IMPLIES, + and opt_PREVENTS. Some macros were also removed, such as + UNIQUENAME and LATEST_LINK. +

+ + + + +

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! +
