[HEADS-UP] Freeze in Preparation for pkgsrc-2010Q4 Branch

[Alistair Crooks <agc%pkgsrc.org@localhost>]

Hi folks,

This is just a quick heads-up that we plan to have a (shorter than
usual) freeze in pkgsrc for new functionality in preparation for the
new pkgsrc-2010Q4 branch.

We'll be doing the freeze starting on December 26th, at 23:59 UTC,
please raise a flag now if people think that we'll need more time.
 
This is also a call for volunteers to create an announcement for the
branch, since I am moving house and experiencing hardware problems
at the same time.  All help would be gratefully received - perhaps
we can use tech-pkg to craft it?

Many thanks,
Alistair
