OK, old_branches_of_interest.txt now exists on the buildfarm server,

the code has been modified to take notice of it (i.e. to accept

9.2 on.
I have set up a test buildfarm client (which will eventually report
under the name 'godwit') alongside crake (Fedora 34). So far testing
has
run smoothly, there are only two glitches:
* 9.3 and 9.2 don't have a show_dl_suffix make target. This would
require backpatching b40cb99b85 and d9cdb1ba9e. That's a tiny
change, and I propose to do it shortly unless there's an
objection.
* I need to undo the removal of client logic that supported 9.2's
unix_socket_directory setting as opposed to the later
unix_socket_directories.
Would a FreeBSD head (peripatus or a new animal) help?
A new animal, because we're not supporting every build option. On the
non-live branches you really only want:
--enable-debug --enable-cassert --enable-nls
--enable-tap-tests --with-perl
You can make it share the same storage as your existing animal (godwit
and crake do this). The client is smart enough to manage locks of
several animals appropriately.

So just create a new animal / config file, and set those options?
and FreeBSD head / main would be useful?
(Currently FreeBSD 14 and clang 13).
