The Ports Collection now features over 31,600 ports. There are currently + 2671 problem reports, of which 718 are unassigned. This quarter saw + almost 5,900 commits from 175 committers. The number of open PRs grew + compared to last quarter, and outpaced the number of changes.
+ +This quarter, we welcomed Zach Leslie (zleslie@), Luca Pizzamiglio + (pizzamig@), Craig Leres (leres@), Adriaan de Groot (adridg@), and Dave + Cottlehuber (dch@) as new committers. The commit bits of the following + committers were taken in for safekeeping: alonso@ after 19 months of + inactivity, rpaulo@ per his request, and ache@ after he passed away. + Despite several tries and changing mentors, kami@ lacked interest in + completing his mentorship, so his commit bit was also taken in for + safekeeping.
+ +On the infrastructure side, two USES values were + removed because they outlived their usefulness:
+ +The default version of GCC was bumped from 5 to 6. Firefox was updated + to version 56.0 and Chromium to version 61.0.3163.100. The version of + pkg itself was updated to 1.10.1.
+ +During this quarter, antoine@ performed 28 exp-runs to test version + updates of major ports, improving USE_GITHUB and + SHEBANG_FILES, and API changes to the base system. + This quarter, the foundations for ports "flavors" were + committed, though more development and testing will be + performed in the coming quarter before it goes live.
