FreeBSD development continues along two parallel branches; FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE. FreeBSD-CURRENT is the main trunk of our CVS repository. All new development should happen here. FreeBSD-STABLE is the branch from which major releases are made. Changes enter this branch at a different pace, and with the general assumption that they have been well tested by our user community running -CURRENT. Chart from releng paper goes here. Thousands of developers around the world contribute code to FreeBSD. Only the committers have write access to the CVS repository. 324 total committers in FreeBSD (includs source, documentation, and ports committers). 212 active committers to src/ in the last 12 months. 165 active committers to src/sys in the last 12 months. Users and external developers should submit bug fixes, enhancements, or problem reports with GNATS. Online submission forms, send-pr command installed by default on FreeBSD systems, etc.
