I'm keeping the port pretty updated for exactly this reason. We intend to use it for FreeBSD 12 here at iX, so far it seems to work pretty well. You'll just need to build world without ZFS so you don't end up with conflicts on zfs/zpool and libzfs. -- Kris Moore -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org <owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org> On Behalf Of Alexander Leidinger via freebsd-hackers Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2019 4:54 AM To: John Kozubik <john@kozubik.com>; freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org Subject: Re: How many "production" releases will FreeBSD have when the ZoL merge comes in ?
