Commits to any branch listed as "frozen" must first be reviewed and approved by the relevant contact party. The status of other subtrees such as ``ports/`` and ``doc/``, is also provided below.

Release Engineering Documentation --------------------------------- - | `FreeBSD Release Engineering <../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html>`__ | Describes the approach used by the FreeBSD release engineering team to make production quality releases of the FreeBSD Operating System. It describes the tools available for those interested in producing customized FreeBSD releases for corporate rollouts or commercial productization. - | `FreeBSD Release Engineering for Third Party Packages <../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng-packages/index.html>`__ | Describes the approach used by the FreeBSD release engineering team to produce a high quality package set suitable for official FreeBSD release media. This document is a work in progress, but eventually it will cover the process used to build a clean package set on the FreeBSD.org "Ports Cluster", how to configure any other set of machines as a ports cluster, how to split up the packages for the release media, and how to verify that a package set is consistent. Release Engineering Team ------------------------ The primary release engineering team is responsible for approving `MFC <../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/freebsd-glossary.html#mfc-glossary>`__ requests during code freezes, setting release schedules, and all of the other responsibilities laid out in our `charter <../releng/charter.html>`__. **Primary RE Team (re@FreeBSD.org)** : Glen Barber, Konstantin Belousov, Marc Fonvieille, Xin Li, Craig Rodrigues, Hiroki Sato, Gleb Smirnoff, Marius Strobl, Robert Watson form the primary release engineering decision-making group. The builders release engineering team is responsible for building and packaging FreeBSD releases on the various supported platforms. **Builders REs (re-builders@FreeBSD.org)** : Marcel Moolenaar, Yoshihiro Takahashi, Nathan Whitehorn 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)** : Mathieu Arnold, Antoine Brodin, Baptiste Daroussin, Bryan Drewery, Erwin Lansing, Steve Wills Old Releases ------------ The FreeBSD Project does not maintain a complete archive of old release ISO images but many of them are available at ftp://ftp-archive.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/. If you are unable to find an FTP mirror that still contains the release you are looking for, then you can email CD-ROM vendors to see if they have any old releases available. .. raw:: html
