Yes, a part of my work will also be to set up a CI pipeline for the
port. I don't know where that will be for now, but it's on the roadmap.
I think it's probably about time to start thinking about that now :)

As said I don't know yet, but that's a likely choice.

For the record, here's the jtreg test summary for the PR i made (with
one additional change, but nothing substantial):

Not quite there, but better than the existing JDK23u port for FreeBSD.

So far I've just used the jtreg main branch to run the jdk tests, so I
haven't thought about it. But that's a good point, and I will look into
it.

That would be really helpful! I'll try to manage without, but will let
you know if it's needed.

Thanks a lot!
