<p>The &os; Ports collection is a package management system for
the &os; operating system, providing an easy and consistent way of
installing software packages. The &os; Ports Collection now
contains approximately 24,500 ports, while the PR count exceeds
1,900.</p>
<p>The &os; Port Management Team ensures that the &os; ports
developer community provides a Ports Collection that is
functional, stable, up-to-date and full-featured. Its secondary
responsibility is to coordinate among the committers and
developers who work on it. As part of these efforts, we added 3
new committers, took in 3 commit bits for safe keeping, and
reinstated 1 commit bit in the fourth quarter of 2013.</p>
<p>Ongoing effort went into testing larger changes, as many as 8 a
week, including sweeping changes to the tree, moderization of
the infrastructure, and basic quality assurance (QA) runs. Many
iterations of <tt>10.0-RELEASE</tt> tests were run to ensure the
maximum amount of packages would be available for the
release.</p>
<p>We now have <tt>pkg(8)</tt> packages for the releases 8.3, 8.4,
9.1, 9.2, 10.0 and -CURRENT on <tt>pkg.FreeBSD.org</tt>. During
this same time, further enhancements were put into
<tt>pkg(8)</tt>, including secure package signing.</p>
<p>Commencing November 1, the Port Management Team undertook a
<q>portmgr-lurkers</q> pilot project in which ports committers
could volunteer to assist the Port Management Team for a
four-month duration. The first two candiates are Mathieu Arnold
(<tt>mat</tt>) and Antoine Brodin (<tt>antoine</tt>).</p>
<p>Ongoing maintainence goes into <tt>redports.org</tt>, including
QAT runs, ports and security updates.</p>
