Compiling syslog-ng git snapshots on FreeBSD -------------------------------------------- The syslog-ng team publishes nightly syslog-ng git snapshot builds for Debian and Ubuntu. I publish weekly snapshot builds for RPM distributions. Recently, I was asked if creating git snapshot builds for FreeBSD is also possible. Yes, it is. That is how I test syslog-ng on FreeBSD. However, it needs some extra preparations. https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/compiling-syslog-ng-git-sna...
