179b5db8d8 - A ports freeze is not a ports lock for tagging, so it takes 
a bit more than "an hour or two".
- The explenation of what needs approval and what not, during
  a freeze was ambiguous, so clarify that all patches need
  approval during a freeze.
While here:
- Add some links to the Portmgr Quality Assurance page.
- Use "the ports management team" instead of "the ports
  manager" as we're more than one person and have been
  for quite a while.

22d00e050e Add a tip about the -F option of `cvs commit' that can be used to 
speed up commits, avoid locking parts of the CVS tree for a very
long time and lets the committer take his time when writing the
commit message.

Hopefully, this way the quality of commit messages is easier to
control and we'll save ourselves some of the problems that can
result from hickups of the CVS repo-locking mechanism.

5fa082b1f8 Simplify parameter entities in doctype declaration. 
Currently we have articles.ent and books.ent, and
for example, articles.ent can be used by putting the
following lines in the doctype declaration:

 <!ENTITY % articles.ent PUBLIC
            "-//FreeBSD//ENTITIES DocBook FreeBSD Articles Entity Set//EN">
 %articles.ent;

This pulls all of the necessary entities via share/sgml/articles.ent.

The translation teams can customize these entities by redefining
the articles.ent file in <langcode>/share/sgml.  See
ja_JP.eucJP/share/sgml for example.

d558fc6c47 ncvs.FreeBSD.org is now the main repository host. 
Describe how to commit on ncvs.FreeBSD.org using remote CVS.

Add a note to NOT use the main repository host as your personal
cvs server, as inspired by peter's mail to developers@ a while back.
Refer to the cvsup distribution method and cvsup-master instead and
give an example of an "fcvs" alias, as suggested by many committers.

Reword or remove various paragraphs about not modifiying the repository
yourself, which is no longer possible, since only repomeisters have
access to ncvs.FreeBSD.org.

Remove the paragraph about CVSUMASK, which no longer applies.

227d30fb09 Add x86-64 as a Tier 3 platform: we're currently able to boot the i386 
FreeBSD implementation on it at production quality, and x86-64-specific
code is in progress in a combination of the main FreeBSD CVS repository
and Perforce.  Once x86-64 native support is appropriately improved, we
can migrate it to Tier 2.

66f5756a50 The FreeBSD Core Team has approved a new policy with regards to the 
status of various architectural platforms and requirements for
support and development of those platforms.  This policy distinguishes
systems into four tiers:

Tier 1: Fully Supported Architectures
Tier 2: Developmental Architectures
Tier 3: Experimental Architectures
Tier 4: Unsupported Architectures

In addition, the Core Team has also approved a policy regarding how
the status of a hardware architecture may be formally changed.  This
policy is new, and subject to review, comment, and modification as
appropriate.  The details of this policy are implemented in this
change to the FreeBSD Committer's Handbook, which all committers
are encouraged to read and review.

Note: Although sparc64 is currently listed as a 'Developmental
Architecture', it is expected that it will become a 'Fully Supported
Architecture' prior to FreeBSD 5.0.  Likewise, it is likely that
ia64 will become a 'Fully Supported Architecture' prior to the
release.
