            Bug ID: 195296
           Summary: [exp-run] Enable VIMAGE in kernel config, and do a
                    ports exp run
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Infrastructure
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rodrigc at FreeBSD.org

I submitted this proposal to arch@ to enable VIMAGE by default in GENERIC:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2014-November/016282.html

Would it be possible for portmgr to:

(1)  Choose a ports building machine running CURRENT.
(2)  Enable the options in the kernel config specified in the above URL.
(3)  Reboot this machine with the VIMAGE enabled kernel.
(4)  Do a ports building exp-run on this machine

There are kernel ABI changes when VIMAGE is enabled.  This affects
ports like emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod .  There may be others, so it would
be useful to find out during the exp-run.
