-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, I've asked this before, but I'm in a better position now to make this work. I'm fluent with C and other languages and want to start contributing to BSD. I'm happy to work where ever I can be of use, I love more lower level stuff but anything that has me working on code would be great. My questions: 1) How do people usually have their environments set up? I'm thinking of running fbsd11 in BHyve where I can do testing, but if there's a better way to test that won't require so many resources that would be nice as well. I didn't want to break my host with testing since it's going to run various other services. 2) How do you prevent rebuilding world and kernel for simple patches? 3) ideas on what to work on would be great. I haven't gotten into really advanced BSD work for a while now, so I haven't found anything that is incredibly broken. Also although this may be off topic, I'm hoping I might find someone who uses IOCage here since this seems to be out of the realm of what most people do. Has anyone used IOCage on FreeBSD 11? If so, how did you manage to fetch the release? I pointed it to the snapshot FTP path and it fetched and extracted (freebsd-update failed to get public keys), but it doesn't show it as a release. My second thought is if I'm working on world then I can just rebuild world under the jail. Is this a good solution? Thanks, - -- Take care, Ty Twitter: @sorressean Web: https://tysdomain.com Pubkey: https://tysdomain.com/files/pubkey.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJW7XXYAAoJEAdP60+BYxejT/YIAIFzhdY6Z0dEWwbqIbXx3sZu 5Md/o4rR3Nui5x1DyM7p+g666cmJd+2TX1cl1nkbhYUt9sNiQbrHHfup+pIKGsaU F38lkBfGZ+t7vFEgSmiTd9B71IYrLHOkOmgUZE0WMpc3zJs7Y+Stku7kL2R3ej+w qaR+bSMpc9RQ6rgtBbKS4ubim5gyjdaOdQpp4FUt40eJGGDN+k+ecc3jgRE6S2z+ 7F4uwck+NLUhSybH+kjB6HHqX0oRcEu+XqNveFp7kGKY2aFSPdhgPdD+MAoKFunW ZzCwCgvY3aaGnKy/VfFP9oQ+P3gdVY4DccnQvufE3AyvNN7d+fl+b4HsZMGXXmI= =Ybcf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
