Rebecca,

I think hosting open platforms outside the tianocore org is great too. This gives the maintainers even more freedom to run their own project and this scenario is actually how nearly all edk2 consumers do it. Today, edk2 just doesn't have the infrastructure to allow them to report back as a signal for core changes. I am still very interested in building and enabling a CI signal from these platforms.

Looks like github.com/freebsd/uefi-edk2.git is a fork of edk2. Is there interest in setting it up to "consume" edk2 as is rather than be a fork? Aligning with Edk2 rather than forking seems like a baseline requirement if you want to build against incoming PRs/changes and allow simple automation to help keep current.

Thanks
Sean

Adding another platform to a core repository that might or might not work at any given time is a burden to all core contributors and doesn't bring value to the core project.

The direction I would like to see is a new repo created at github.com/tianocore/Bhyve_Platform.git

Given I'm a FreeBSD committer but not a TianoCore maintainer, I think I'd prefer to just keep using github.com/freebsd/uefi-edk2.git as the location for bhyve sources in that case, since it's already set up and I have commit access to it.

At this point I'm keen to move on from discussing where the code should live, since I'd like to get my changes committed wherever and start creating builds for people who are waiting for them and improve bhyve support in edk2.
