Hi Folks! What would be required to make FreeBSD a tier 1 platform for Rust? ---

> What would be required to make FreeBSD a tier 1 platform for Rust? [These are the requisites](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/getting-started.html#tier-1) that a platform must met to be considered a tier 1 platform. > Automated testing is set up to run tests for the platform. We already running the test suite for the freebsd target. Both on the [32-bit](http://buildbot.rust-lang.org/builders/auto-freebsd10_32-1) and [64-bit](http://buildbot.rust-lang.org/builders/auto-freebsd10_64-1) variants. > Landing changes to the rust-lang/rust repository's master branch is gated on tests passing. We are not doing this yet. I don't know the details but the builds are failing. > Official release artifacts are provided for the platform. This is being worked on. @alexcrichton is currently working on binary releases of [rustc and libstd for freebsd](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-buildbot/issues/78#issuecomment-198068877). > Documentation for how to use and how to build the platform is available. I don't know the state of the documentation on this area. Also check [this comment/thread](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/request-for-adding-free-hardened-bsd-and-linux-musl-to-official-releases/3185/2). (Also I think this kind of question belongs to the internals forum rather here) ---

Thanks for the reply! I will follow up on the info. I didn't realize there is a separate internals forum... Will post there next. ---
