These Build Option Survey Build Results have quietly been the most active content on this site through the pandemic. They represents builds of several FreeBSD branches loosely tracking the Release Engineering weekly snapshots.
The official FreeBSD Build Option Survey (BOS) is extremely time consuming.
"BOS Lite" uses an OccamBSD script to exclude all options, providing the bare-minimum OS build, which conveniently exercises the majority of FreeBSD build options.
Making all FreeBSD build options work by the 13.0 release was a multi-year effort involving several people and there have been very few regressions.
This spreadsheet describes the status of FreeBSD release ISOs that are not available at ftp-archive.freebsd.org. If you have any of these historic releases obtained by FTP download or Walnut Creek CD-ROMs, mail Michael confirmation of your checksums and post missing images. Thank you for your help!
