Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-11-19 01:42:11 UTC
<https://www.freebsd.org/portmgr/#_resources_of_interest_to_freebsd_contributors_and_developers>, fourth point: 

> * FreeBSD Release Engineering for Third Party Packages
> 
>   Describes the approach used by the FreeBSD release engineering team to 
>   produce a high quality package set suitable for official FreeBSD release 
>   media, with specific emphasis on how to split up the packages for the 
>   release media, and how to verify that a package set is consistent.

– refers to <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/releng/#release-build> where, without scrolling up to the head of the page, it's not clear that information is outdated: 

> Legacy FreeBSD Release Engineering

I guess, the referring text might be updated to refer to a relevant point within: 

<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/freebsd-releng/>

In my 11 years as a committer, and 8-ish years as a member of Release Engineering, I can honestly say I have never seen this page.

Assigning to portmgr, as this seems to be a subtext of their charter page.

Thanks,

> … never seen this page. …

Please, which one? 

<https://www.freebsd.org/portmgr/>, or the legacy page to which it currently refers?
