What FreeBSD version is used?

[hasufell]

I don't see which version is used and if you can switch between 12 and 13.

It's 13.0 now. https://github.com/vmactions/freebsd-vm/releases

[hasufell]

Any reason we can't decide to use 12? E.g. if you want to build release binaries, you want FreeBSD 12, because they will work for both 12 and 13.

[Neilpang]

you can try v0.0.9

What I mean is: it should be configurable in the action.

I doubt there are how many users need this feature.

If many users need it, I can support it.

Also you can send PR.

Thanks.

I doubt there are how many users need this feature.

the whole point of running FreeBSD runner is to build (and release) code for supported versions of FreeBSD.

@hasufell if macOS runner supports nested virtualization, which I did not know before finding this GitHub action, it should be possible to run vagrant and virtualbox. looking at the code in this repo, it looks to me that the way it implements is not versatile. i ran vagrant on travis-ci long before they stopped free-tier for opensource projects. that way, you can not only choose FreeBSD versions, but also use whatever VM images you need. i'm using cirrus-ci for my projects now, but it has its own quirks.

Exactly. It doesn't help me knowing my code compiles for some freebsd version. I want to release for the latest 2 major versions at least... or for the previous one, because there are compat packages.

Just supporting the latest doesn't really work well.

Hi guys,
I just supported to select the FreeBSD release versions in the latest code.
please use the release config. see the readme:
