 Subject: EOS/EOL policies of ports and ports intrastructure on RELENG_4
 Message-ID: <20060215142506.GQ64362@droso.net>
 
 While still many people use RELENG_4, it is EOD. Portmgr has set the
 following policies with regard to EOL/EOS of this branch and kindly asks
 developers to implement these:
 
 - We keep building 4.11 packages as long as we have the resources.
   4.x package builds will be deprioritised though, meaning they may not
   be rebuilt as frequently.
 - We will continue to support the 4.X infrastructure until RELENG_4
   EOL (1/31/2007) by building the INDEX on RELENG_4 for
   use by 'make fetchindex', and making sure that the ports collection
   infrastructure (bsd.port.mk, etc) continues to function on RELENG_4,
   subject to the reduced testing that this branch will receive.  This
   means that problems may be noticed only after the fact and may require
   community support to develop and test fixes.
 - We do not require committers/maintainers to support 4.x, but ports
   will still be required to be marked BROKEN/IGNORE if they do not
   build/run.
 - Port maintainers are strongly encouraged to accept patches from the
   community that allow their ports to build and run on 4.x.  However,
   since running on 4.x is no longer a requirement, maintainers may use
   their discretion in cases where a proposed patch would be disruptive
   to other supported FreeBSD branches, or would unreasonably impede
   ongoing maintenance of the port.
 - We will continue to accept patches for ports collection infrastructure
   (bsd.port.mk, etc)
 - We encourage all users and developers to migrate to the FreeBSD 6.x
   branch, which is a stable and mature platform, and is now the
   'reference' FreeBSD branch for the ports collection.
 
 On behalf of portmgr,
