Description

The FreeBSD VM testing in GitHub Actions has been temporarily disabled due to reliability issues. The VM often fails to boot or takes excessive time (5+ hours) to complete simple tasks.

Current Status

  • FreeBSD testing has been replaced with a Linux-based compatibility check
  • The Linux job simulates FreeBSD environment as much as possible
  • See .github/workflows/deps.yml for the commented out FreeBSD VM configuration

Tasks

  • Monitor vmactions/freebsd-vm for stability improvements
  • Test FreeBSD VM reliability periodically
  • Re-enable FreeBSD-specific CI when stable
  • Consider alternative FreeBSD CI solutions (CircleCI, BuildJet, etc.)

Notes

SEFACA is optimized for FreeBSD, so native FreeBSD testing is important for the project's long-term quality assurance.
