Hi Sage,

Cool page that gitbuilder....
Would be nice to have a FreeBSD builder in there as well. :)

Once I get things up and running, I will be able to supply either VMs
and/or actual hardware to do building and testing.

My personal problem is that I'm a longtime FreeBSD user (since 1993) and
now I'm sort of forced into (the) other OS. Because we like Ceph. So we
are building currently on Linux, but would like to have a FreeBSD
possibility as well.

But first I need to get the code to compile, and then actually run.
Long term goal is to use ZFS as basis, since this is a rock solid FS on
FreeBSD. And then integrate it with another nice FreeBSD thingy: bhyve.

Now I'm taking small baby steps at the moment, and do have other chores
as well. So progress might be slow, but I think I found some of the
issues I did not get to yet in the git of Mykola.

Thanx for the feedback.
