http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/experimental/glusterfs-freebsd_2014=
0811.tar.bz2
- updated tar with

- libexecinfo part of glusterfs 'contrib'
- Gluster configuration changed from "/var/lib" to "/var/db" by
default for non-linux platforms.
- First attempt to get regression tests ported to FreeBSD
- Currently the build is dependent on 'cmockery2' for which i
submitted a new port request here -
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D192420 (not merged
yet)

Let me know how the testing goes.

BTW as an off topic but related to GlusterFS regression tests - i have
been trying to get 'pidof' command really working on FreeBSD but seems
like its really un-usable and doesn't behave the same way as the
sysvinit `pidof` does.
