I've provided Larry Greenfield with an account on one of my FreeBSD machines so he can test compiles/portability on FreeBSD 3.3. His predecessor, Tim Showalter, used one of my machines for the same thing, but I guess we'll wait and see if Larry actually does it or not :-). Of late, I've been thinking of setting up a freebsd-build.watson.org and allowing developers to try building their software there to test FreeBSD compatibility. I do this for a couple of people now (KeyNote, Cyrus) and it seems to work fairly well for people working entirely in userland. Any thoughts on the feasibility of this? Part of the problem of a "ports" collection is that the changes often don't get submitted back to the original maintainer of the software, leading to problems on updates, and more than one point of maintenance.
