Hi Christian,
Thanks for taking this on.  Are their particular releases/architectures
you are feel will be helpful for testing?  I may be able to spin up some
behyve instances for this, so if it looks like we need freebsd-9.x/10.x,
or netbsd or openbsd coverage please let me know and i may be able to
assist.

Also, to be clear you are interesting in providing additional test
coverage for tor packages on these platforms correct?

cheers,
-pete
