Hi all, Could anyone give me some hints on how to set up an environment to develop and test new ports? I see some people use tinderbox. Are tinderbox's jails the best way to write and test ports? What are the alternatives? Would be enough to have a fresh freebsd installation on a virtual machine or is it better to prepare a chroot? I read the porter's handbook but it didn't seem too clear to this respect. Any other information source that I should refer to? Sorry if these are too many questions... just one more :) could you cc me? I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks in advance.
