Hello all. I'm currently made set of scripts, which builds FreeBSD from svn sources, and packing it in VirtualBox (*.vdi) compatible images. It's working now, and producing something like FreeBSD-9-i386-r226409-2011-10-16.vdi.xz (also .vdi, .vdi.zip and plain .img which can be dd to USB flash). I'm developing this here: https://github.com/yerenkow/freebsd-vm-image I have more goals to do (like producing more images, with a installed sets of packages, like KDE-from-ports, KDE-from-area51, with experimental GEM drivers etc.) Why I'm writing this letter: 1. Get some help from peoples who interesting in this; 2. Introduce myself in -current (I wasn't active here before) 3. Discuss current bug behavior (or bug in my scripts/mind) of boot loader PR/161677 4. Also, I'd like to see producing these images semi- or fully- official :) (Lacking of virtual images to test even of major releases is not good for project like FreeBSD.) -- Regards, Alexander Yerenkow
