The &os; Release Engineering Team is responsible for setting + and publishing release schedules for official project releases + of &os;, announcing code freezes and maintaining the + respective branches, among other things.

+ +

The &os; Release Engineering Team completed the 10.3-RELEASE + cycle late April, led by &a.marius;. The release was one week + behind the original schedule, to accommodate for a few last + minute critical issues that were essential to include in the + final release.

+ +

The &os; 11.0-RELEASE cycle started late May, one month + behind the orignal schedule. The schedule slip was primarily + to accommodate for packaging the &os; base system with the + pkg(8) utility. However, as work on this progressed, + it became apparent that there were too many outstanding + issues. As a result, packaged base will be a "beta" feature + for 11.0-RELEASE, with the goal of promoting it to a + first-class feature in 11.1-RELEASE, with additional + provisions to ensure a seamless transition for earlier + supported releases.

+ +

Despite the fact that packaged base is not going to be a + prime feature for &os; 11.0-RELEASE, the Release + Engineering Team would like to thank everyone who tested, + provided patches, provided ideas and feedback, and in some + cases, shot themselves in the foot due to bugs.

Ruby on Rails is the base for most of the rubygems in the Ports Collection. Currently, versions 3.2 and 4.2 coexist. Since Rails 3.2 is running out of support, the time has come to switch to 4.2.

While there is ongoing progress to remove Rails 3.2 from the ports tree, there are some major updates blocking this process. The most recent blocker was the outstanding update of www/redmine from 2.6 to 3.2. This has completed successfully, so we can now move on.

To help with porting or testing, feel free to contact me or the ruby@FreeBSD.org mailing list.
