Problem with this is that it is rather hard to actually simulate the build environment (poudriere) for FreeBSD ports. So for that it will require a rather convoluted setup to test submits. Hence my preference to upload only after changes have shown to work in the Ports system. But perhaps it would be wise to actually keep a "release" version of the ports-config in the tree. That is a version that does not change all that often. On the other hand you would not want to delay the release of Ceph version until the FreeBSD port is stable. So the ports entry would be updated after the release of a new version.... I could just submit a PR for it once the port seems oke, and then we see what works. --WjW -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
