|
|
<p>The following table lists the code freeze status for the major
|
|
branches of the <tt>src/</tt> subtree of the FreeBSD CVS
|
|
repository. Commits to any branch listed as "frozen" must first be
|
|
reviewed and approved by the relevant contact party.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the <tt>ports/</tt>, <tt>doc/</tt>, and <tt>www/</tt>
|
|
subtrees are not branched and not covered by this table.</p>

a work in progress, but eventually it will cover the process

used to build a clean package set on the FreeBSD.org "Ports

Cluster", how to configure any other set of machines as a

ports cluster, how to split up the packages for the release

consistent.</small></p></li>

<h1>Release Engineering Team</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The primary release engineering team is responsible for approving
|
|
<a
|
|
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#DEFINE-MFC">MFC</a>
|
|
requests during code freezes, setting release schedules, and all of
|
|
the other responsibilities laid out in our <a
|
|
href="&base;/releng/charter.html">charter</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Primary RE Team (<a
|
|
href="mailto:re@FreeBSD.org">re@FreeBSD.org</a>)</strong> : &a.murray;
|
|
is the primary RE / chairperson, and &a.steve;, &a.rwatson;, &a.jhb;,
|
|
and &a.bmah; form the rest of the primary release
|
|
engineering decision-making group.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The platform-specific release engineering teams are responsible for
|
|
building and packaging FreeBSD releases on the given platforms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Alpha Platform REs (<a
|
|
href="mailto:re-alpha@FreeBSD.org">re-alpha@FreeBSD.org</a>)</strong> :
|
|
&a.wilko;, &a.obrien;, &a.murray;, &a.jhb;, &a.rwatson;</p>

&a.jake;, &a.tmm;, &a.rwatson;, &a.jhb;, &a.murray;, &a.phk;</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The third party packages in the Ports Collection are managed by the
|
|
portmgr@ team. Among many other responsibilities, the port managers
|
|
keep the ports cluster running smoothly to produce binary
|
|
packages.</p>
