I keep two personal machines at home for FreeBSD work. One running 7 and one running 6 (currently down due to disk failure) and both have a tinderbox along with multiple jails on them. RELENG_7 only branched recently so I haven't even had much time to setup a FreeBSD 8 system. I'm not sure I will even have a FreeBSD 8 system anytime soon. I have no more free PCs at home and already need to purchase a new Linux box which I keep as a reference machine. I can scrap the FreeBSD 6 box and load FreeBSD 8 which I have thought about but that has its own issues. Do I drop testing on what will become a legacy branch soon even though it is still widely used? Mono's issues on FreeBSD have historically been thread related so do I want to drop the last branch with libpthread? If something breaks on a development branch it will get fixed but typically at a slower rate. My personal opinion is my resources are better spent making sure ports work on production branches rather than a development branch. People should expect breakage in a development branch. They should be able to expect things work and have been reasonably tested when using a production branch. >> We did a lot to verify GNOME builds correctly.
