test modified freebsd source

[Li-Wen Hsu]

You can try to run the test suite https://wiki.freebsd.org/TestSuite
and compare the results of the latest build at https://ci.freebsd.org

There is a mailing list
https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-testing for
discussing testing related topics.

I need to make minor changes in kernal too, but that&#x27;s for later. The only way I see as of now is to make a freebsd install and test sources after changes within it. Is there a better way around? Thanks for the support,Peter

I have the responsibility to make some modifications and customise source tree as per the demands.Can i get some suggestions on what would be the best way to test the changes i make? Majorly I need to make changes to the current commands and some minor changes to the kernal. I haven&#x27;t done such a task before (like building a complete OS) so i am pretty much clueless. Would really appreciate getting some help. Kind regards, Peter
