On January 12, Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse (jasper@) announced that the ports tree has switched in softlock mode, meaning that users were welcome to test and report bugs. Now, on February 17, he announced on the ports@ mailing-list that the ports tree has been locked for the upcoming OpenBSD 4.7 release.
Please read on for Jasper's message:
From: Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse <jasper@humppa.nl> To: ports@openbsd.org Subject: Ports locked Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:48:23 +0100 The ports tree is now locked for the 4.7 release. Thanks to everyone who tested. Cheers, Jasper
Jasper's update to ports re-opens the tree for specific people :
so, an unexpected opportunity arose that will allow us to work on ports yet a little bit longer. this mean that we can get caught up, without introducing any risks. people who're allowed to commit, have been informed. IF I DID NOT MAIL YOU, DO NOT COMMIT! cheers, jasper
A few updates have already gone in, mostly for mips64el fixes.

Yeah, well, when did not knowing anything about OpenBSD prevented that crowd from uttering moronic comments ?
Seriously though, there are some changes OpenBSD is goign to move away from bind anyways, as it's getting tiresome to band-aid such a piece of junk...

That's very good news. What is going to be the replacement? An existing implementation or a new in house development?
