Hi guys, I am currently pursuing my internship and new to freebsd (switched from Ubuntu). Its gonna get used at my work. I have the responsibility to make some modifications and customise source tree as per the demands.Can i get some suggestions on what would be the best way to test the changes i make? Majorly I need to make changes to the current commands and some minor changes to the kernal. I haven't done such a task before (like building a complete OS) so i am pretty much clueless. Would really appreciate getting some help.

You can build an entire release: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release-build.html You can build everything other than the kernel, or the kernel itself: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html Without knowing what your changes will be, describing testing is a challenge. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Brian Reichert <reichert@numachi.com> BSD admin/developer at large
