2015-05-29 Thread Steven Chamberlain
If something FTBFS on kfreebsd please just send a short note to us anyway, and if it's an essential package it's in our interest to get around to fixing it. It doesn't affect testing migrations meanwhile. You clearly had some other things to say but it might have been better to discuss that in a
