Me personally, I once spent a few minutes extra on a FreeBSD build, a long time ago.
lucky you.
On the other hand, most of the time my patches aren't tested on FreeBSD: particularly openbsc.git as well as the new repositories haven't been tested (for gerrit +V) on FreeBSD for a long time.
Ah, ok, I missed that.
Given involvement by some friends of mine I'd actually be more interested in OpenBSD than FreeBSD ... but that's beside the point :)
Well, as indicated we'd be more than happy to merge related patches, but I just have doubts whether it's efficient use of our time to actively (build) test the code on other platforms.
Also, if somebody wants to maintain this, we could keep a separate e.g. nightly jenkins job around and then generate build failure notifications to whoever in the community who wants to maintain the (sup)port for other platforms.
