--n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I maintain a port (mail/libspf) which currently does not compile on amd64, and probably on some other tier 1 or 2 architectures too. I am fairly optimistic that I will be able to cook up some patches to remedy this; however, I have no way of actually testing these on said architectures, as I currently do not have access to any non-i386 FreeBSD systems. What's the best way to handle such a situation as port maintainer? Should I file a PR asking for a committer to test my patches? Or should I find someone able and willing to do some testing for me through other means, such as posting patches to this list? Or should I just go ahead and have the untested patches committed, and wait for the bento logs to tell me about success or failure? (I don't particularly like this one). Any other options?
