The Ports Tree currently contains over 26,300 ports, with the + PR count around 2,150. Of these PRs, 516 are unassigned. The + last quarter saw 5,295 commits by 117 active committers. + Compared to the preceding quarter, there is both a slight + increase in the number of PRs and the number of unassigned PRs, + and a slight decrease in the number of committers.

+ +

In the last quarter, four commits bits were taken in for safe + keeping: erwin, miwi, and sem left by their own request and jase + was inactive for more than 18 months. We welcomed two new + committers: Tobias Berner (tcberner) and Joseph Mingrone + (jrm).

+ +

On the management side, erwin and miwi left portmgr. bapt + also left portmgr but is still the liaison for core.

+ +

On the infrastructure side, three new USES (grantlee, kde, + linux) and one new Keyword (javavm) were introduced. The + default version of the Linux ports is now CentOS 6, with the + Fedora 10 ports scheduled for removal at the end of the year. + The license framework has been extended with a NONE license to + indicate that a port has no clearly defined licensing terms. + For those ports, no packages or distribution files are + distributed. Also, support for the complete set of Creative + Commons licenses has been added.

+ +

Some major user-visible ports were updated: Firefox to 49.0 + and Firefox Extended Service Release to 45.4.0; Chromium to + 52.0.2743.116; the default version of gcc to 4.8.5; and + pkg itself to 1.8.7.

+ +

Behind the scenes, antoine ran 24 exp-runs to validate various + package updates, framework changes, and changes to the base + system. bdrewery added two new package building machines, + supervised the package builds for 11.0-RELEASE, and added support + for building arm64 packages.

+ +

At EuroBSDCon, rene visited a presentation by Landry Breuil + <landry@openbsd.org> explaining how packages are built in + the OpenBSD world and explaining various design decisions.

+ + + + If you have some spare time, please take up a PR for + testing and committing. + +
