The Project tries to avoid it but occasional build failures on the development branch are very likely to occur. As a new user, you would be much better off starting with a release branch. >This told me that I would be more likely to be running code written >by people who knew what they were doing if I went with Open, Net, or >DragonflyBSD. I think that's being unfair. Do Open, Net or DFly have an equivalent to the tinderboxes that do automated test builds and report failures? And, since you have replied to an ARM failure, DragonflyBSD would not be an option since it doesn't support ARM. --=20 Peter Jeremy --+HP7ph2BbKc20aGI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlCeSdAACgkQ/opHv/APuIf7zgCfR7FA9+K9GViGq5x/gbnX9Gxq gykAoKVwQTlIzP7zjHo5kdOhZ/E9oF1r =2oUI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+HP7ph2BbKc20aGI--
