My normal work doesn't require -CURRENT but the stuff I need to do Android development only works on -CURRENT the problem I only have one machine and want to make it so I can run 8.2-RC1 for most everyday things but can switch to -CURRENT when I do Android work.... Obviously I would like to make it so my ports are also build for both machines everytime I run portmaster (or the equiv)... dual boot or jail or what?.... note that -CURRENT currently is unusable due to active refactoring of the interrupt handling and my NIC (ale(4)) causing a panic when it goes from down to up
I'd be tempted to run a -current jail inside of an 8.x base system. That's not supported, but would likely work.
An even better idea might be to run a -current system inside a VirtualBox container. This would allow you to run it at full speed, but insulate your primary system if there's bad things going on with -current this week. I do a lot of FreeBSD development inside of VirtualBox. It is quite nice that way.
