Hi! Guess it's a good idea to move things soon -- release people might e busy in the talk before as well and not see last-minute stuff.

So just building that with a kfreebsd-kernel-headers 10.1 would probably be a good start on its own right?

I'm pretty sure we can get things going without you throwing private money at it ;-). I wouldn't do an archive rebuild though. There's also somewhat of a freebsd-libs transition right? Christoph
