It would be great if you can test the patch.
The general test plan instructions are here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4=
2350.
It includes instructions for your case WITHOUT_JAIL. It's expected that you
need no changes in your build system, the Kyua should be built without jail
support and your usual test runs should work as usually. And any execenv=3D=
jail
based test on your way should be automatically skipped by such instance of =
Kyua.


Best regards, Igor.
