Release Engineering Documentation

Release Engineering Team

The primary release engineering team is responsible for approving MFC requests during code freezes, setting release schedules, and all of the other responsibilities laid out in our charter.

Primary RE Team (re@FreeBSD.org) : &a.murray;, &a.steve;, &a.rwatson;, &a.jhb;, &a.bmah;, and &a.scottl; form the primary release engineering decision-making group.

The platform-specific release engineering teams are responsible for building and packaging FreeBSD releases on the given platforms.

Alpha Platform REs (re-alpha@FreeBSD.org) : &a.wilko;, &a.murray;, &a.jhb;, &a.rwatson;, &a.scottl;

ia64 Platform REs (re-ia64@FreeBSD.org) : &a.marcel;, &a.peter;

i386 Platform REs (re-x86@FreeBSD.org) : &a.murray;, &a.jhb;, &a.rwatson;, &a.bmah;, &a.scottl;

pc98 Platform REs (re-pc98@FreeBSD.org) : &a.nyan;

sparc64 Platform REs (re-sparc64@FreeBSD.org) : &a.jake;, &a.tmm;, &a.rwatson;, &a.jhb;, &a.murray;, &a.phk;, &a.scottl;

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.

Package Builders (portmgr@FreeBSD.org) : &a.asami;, &a.kris;, &a.sobomax;, &a.steve;, &a.will;, &a.knu;
