Seconded.

However, developers should be aware that not every patch set gets
tested on most platforms.  Currently, patches are tested automatically
on AIX, IRIX, Linux, and Windows; other platforms only build "master"
at scheduled times (for FreeBSD it's at noon and midnight).  If you
visit the "waterfall" display at
<http://buildbot.openafs.org:8010/waterfall>, the buildslaves marked
"idle" build patches automatically; those marked "waiting next in
[interval] at [time]" build patches on a specific schedule.
Currently, in addition to FreeBSD, the latter includes MacOS, HP-UX,
Solaris, and Linux on the ARM platform.
