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.

+ +

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.

+ +

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 10.0-RELEASE tests were run to ensure the + maximum amount of packages would be available for the + release.

+ +

We now have pkg(8) packages for the releases 8.3, 8.4, + 9.1, 9.2, 10.0 and -CURRENT on pkg.FreeBSD.org. During + this same time, further enhancements were put into + pkg(8), including secure package signing.

+ +

Commencing November 1, the Port Management Team undertook a + portmgr-lurkers 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 + (mat) and Antoine Brodin (antoine).

+ +

Ongoing maintainence goes into redports.org, including + QAT runs, ports and security updates.

+ + + + As previously noted, many PRs continue to languish, we would + like to see a committers dedicate themselves to closing as many + as possible! + +
