Is it because you also need root access to install and test the package?
I don't have access to the porterboxes (as far as I understand since I'm DM not DD). My main need is building, no need for special administrator rights as far as I have gnat-4.9 and a few others packages installed.
Why specifically kfreebsd-i386 and not kfreebsd-amd64?
The build of version 2.11~20140418-1 (experimental) on kfreebsd-amd64 is OK but not on kfreebsd-i386 as one can see in [1].
And why not a virtual machine? What kind of resources (diskspace and RAM) might you need?
Building polyorb requires time (about half an hour) and about 1GB of diskspace.
Debuging the FTBFS on kfreebsd-i386 in a virtual machine will be very slow (IMHO). It's why I prefer to have "real" hardware at hand.
I was thinking about setting up a kfreebsd buildd for a short period of time (would 1 week be enough time?) specifically so I could do a test rebuild of many packages, for GCC-4.9 and other reasons.
One week should be enough, thanks. How do I need to proceed to have an access to it ?
