A single, really small boot/livefs/install with no packages (half-smiley) In all seriousness, with a change of this complexity, in order to get more eyes on the prize, some form of slightly-hardened functional snapshot would be useful to load up on virtualbox/vmware/whatever slaves, install the necessary components for a ports-tinderbox client system and then start building. On personal machines (not the package building clusters), package building and testing can take a non-trivial amount of time to run, so everyone interested in participating running from the same snapshot (base, dict, proflibs, src/sys [and, for amd64, lib32] sets are all that's needed to run a ports-tinderbox) will considerably ease the situation. -aDe _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
