The Ports Management Team is responsible for overseeing the overall direction of the Ports Tree, building packages, and personnel matters. Below is what happened in the last quarter.

We currently have 46,700 ports in the Ports Collection according to FreshPorts. There are currently 2,666 open ports PRs of which 611 are unassigned. This quarter saw 9,535 commits from 166 committers on the main branch and 644 commits from 62 committers on the quarterly branch. Compared to last quarter, this means a slight drop in the number of commits although more committers were active, and a slight increase in the number of open PRs.

During the last quarter, we welcomed Dries Michiels (driesm@) and said goodbye to kuriyama@ and fjoe@. There was also a change in portmgr: adamw@ stepped down after five years of service and tcberner@ is now a full member of portmgr@.

Three new USES were introduced:

The default version of PGSQL switched to 13. Furthermore, INSTALLS_ICONS has been replaced by a trigger on gtk-update-icon-cache and the macro is no longer functional.

As always, there were some updates to "big" packages: pkg was updated to 1.17.5, Chromium to 94.0.4606.81_3, and Firefox to 95.0.2_1,2. Ruby 3.1.0 and Python 3.11 are now available for use by users and other ports.
