<p>The FreeBSD Ports Collection is a product intended first and
|
|
foremost for the end-users of FreeBSD. The Ports Management Team
|
|
(portmgr) is the group charged with overseeing its development.
|
|
Its members are appointed by the FreeBSD Core Team (core).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The primary responsibility of the portmgr team is to ensure
|
|
that the FreeBSD 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Ports Management Team has the following specific
|
|
responsibilities:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Assure the integrity of the Ports Collection by managing
|
|
commits to the <tt>ports</tt> portion of the FreeBSD CVS repository.
|
|
This includes maintaining certain key files directly;
|
|
running test builds of proposed large changes; and acting as
|
|
arbiter over other commits.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Maintain the automated <a href="http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org">
|
|
package building cluster</a>, and make the resulting packages
|
|
available for download by FreeBSD users.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Work with the FreeBSD Security team to insure that security
|
|
problems are indentified and handled in a timely fashion.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Work with FreeBSD Ports and Documentation Committers to
|
|
keep the relevant documentation up to date.</p>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>To the extent possible with a volunteer project, ensure
|
|
that the legal rights of authors whose works are installed in
|
|
the Ports Collection are respected.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Act as arbiter of first resort for disputes between
|
|
FreeBSD community members such as maintainers and
|
|
committers.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Manage CVS commit access to the ports tree. All new
|
|
committer approvals must be sent to admins@, and CC'd to
|
|
core@; they must be PGP-signed.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Establish guidelines and policies governing the rights and
|
|
responsibilities of Ports Committers and maintainers.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Help prioritize future directions for the overall Ports
|
|
Collection.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to its specific responsibilities, The Ports Management
|
|
Team may take whatever actions it believes prudent to manage the ports
|
|
collection responsibly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Please see <a href="policies.html">Ports Team Policies</a> for
|
|
a complete list of the current policies which have been adopted to
|
|
help implement these goals.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This charter is under the control of the FreeBSD Core Team. It
|
|
is valid until such time as it is modified or revoked by the Core
|
|
Team; any changes to this charter must be approved by the Core Team.</p>
