The first step would be a port of bonsai to FreeBSD. One major obstacle to its use would be the following comment: "Performance - Bonsai can be, under the right circumstances, egregiously slow. In scenarios like Mozilla.org, which have a lot of checkins and a lot of code, the right conditions can happen a lot. Even worse, the things that make Bonsai go slow will also cause your server load to go sky high and make everything else go slow." The FreeBSD codebase is more than an order of magnitude larger than Mozilla and I suspect there are significantly more developers and commits. The above comment suggests it would be unusably slow. > I was going to have a look at doing this locally and trying >to hook it into CVSup It might be easier to hook it into a local CVS repository and the cvs-all mailing list. -- Peter Jeremy
