Ports freeze to start April 13

[Erwin Lansing]

The ports freeze for the upcoming release of 7.2 will start in
one week time on April 13.  Release packages will be built immediately
and have to be ready for RC2 which is scheduled for March 20.  To keep
the freeze as short as possible, the date might be moved depending on
any delays in the src release process.  Also, to keep this freeze this
short we kindly ask anyone with commits in their queues that might have
any larger effect on the packages to run their changes by portmgr from
today to make sure no new regressions are introduced.

As always, we are looking for volunteers to fix outstanding errors, and
this is a good time to focus on existing errors and regressions instead
of new features to make sure as many packages can be inclused in the
release.

For a list of outstanding build errors, please see the following links:

Remember: All commits after April 13 need explicit approval from portmgr!
