The MAINTAINER_POLICY outlined below describes all conditions, which when satisfied, any FreeBSD developer may commit changes to ports that are maintained by me, under Approved by: koobs (implicit: MAINTAINER_POLICY).

• MUST be provided as a Phabricator differential with koobs added as Reviewer.
  • MUST provide a correct and completely formatted commit log message (see below), and include all references.
    • All commit log messages MUST include MFH: <branch>|No> (<reason>).
    • All commit log messages for version updates MUST include a changelog reference.
• MUST be reviewed and accepted by at least one independent developer.
• MUST be tested (QA'd) appropriately, completely, and explicitly noted in review (TEST PLAN section), commit log messages and Bugzilla issues.
  • MUST pass portlint (and/or portfmt) and poudriere testport, modulo false-positives and common sense.
  • MUST pass testport against at least two FreeBSD version and architecture combinations:
    • i386 OR amd64, AND one of another architecture, AND
    • Each testport MUST be against different FreeBSD versions

If the port has a test target:

• MUST pass the test suite, OR does not regress against (is not different than) the current port version.

If the port involves DEFAULT_VERSIONS, or defines OPTIONS:

• MUST pass testport against at least one non-default DEFAULT_VERSIONS (Eg: Python)
• MUST pass testport against at least one non-default OPTION

Changelog:

  <changelog link>

• All changes that are not feature-only releases are merged to quarterly.
• All port (files/) patches are commented, with upstream references where available.

Things I'd like to see in FreeBSD:

• {Dynamic} Byte Queue Limits for network interface drivers
  • CoDeL and other algorithms backing BQL/DQL
  • Pluggable queue algorithms, configurable at run-time
• User-friendly live filesystem resizing (ala lvm)
  • Out of the box, fully integrated, filesystem independent (“logical volume layer”)
• TCP splice() (unless we have something as good/better)
  • Suleiman Souhlal's splice patches (2006)
  • Linux splice(2) man page
  • splice()/tee() discussion on kerneltrap
  • Wikipedia: splice
  • Example use of splice() + comments
  • Splice git repo + test tools
  • Scribd slideshow for Splice/Tee/VMsplice Zero-Copy on Linux
  • Sebastian Krahmer - Using new OS and CPU features to speed up large file copying (June 2012)
• futimens(2) and utimensat(2) syscalls Added 10.3
  • freebsd-arch (Feb 2012)
  • freebsd-arch (Jan 2013)
• lagg(4) and carp(4) polish
  • Disclaimer: I love carp/lagg
  • lagg(4) - Gratuitous arp's sent out on failover/failback
    • Issue: kern/156226
    • Patch
    • Code Review (D4111): Fix lagg failover mode caused by missing node notifications IN PROGRESS!

• Run testport in all jails (-j all?) without a custom shell script to for each jail in jails do testport $jail
• Run test target for those ports that define it, using TEST_DEPENDS
