HEADS UP: Partial ports thaw [kris@FreeBSD.org: cvs commit: CVSROOT approvers]

[Kris Kennaway]

The ports tree is now partially unfrozen.  This means: no large-scale
or sweeping changes until 5.3-RELEASE is out the door, but other
changes may be committed (if in doubt, ask portmgr@).

Thanks for everyone's patience during the freeze - it took longer than
we expected this time because of interactions with changes to the 5.3
source tree, delays in getting certain port problems fixed, and other
reasons.  On the plus side, at least 200 broken ports were fixed on
5.3 during the freeze, and a number of serious bugs were found and
fixed during the testing period!

However, what usually happens now that we're partly unfrozen is that
there's a sudden mad orgy of committing as everyone gets their pent up
commit urges out of their system, and the result is that a lot of
ports get broken again in the week or so after the freeze.  Everyone,
please remember the usual testing procedures, and think twice before
committing changes to make sure you don't overlook something.

Thanks,
Kris
