Indeed Yary, we need more people running OpenBSD. It's basically me and Nigel
nowadays and I'm getting tired of kicking some serious butt to the top of the
"contest" (http://stats.cpantesters.org/leaders/leaders-openbsd-all.html) :-D
Just kidding... again, we should have more boxes running on OpenBSD too, if not
for the OS sake, but also for the bugs detected over there.
After two years of project I may say that we got errors that were not being
generated on other OS, specially with those distributions that use C and XS. As
I'm not a C programmer myself (shame is on me, I guess), I can only guess that
this is related to the way OpenBSD is more restricted about what is allowed or
not.
I'm not seeing many other improvements opportunities to this project right now,
but I'm considering extending the provisioning automation to other UNIX-like
OSes. If it comes out right, maybe this project itself will lose it's meaning.

cool, thanks! OpenBSD needs some love- I'm not running any of those servers
now but I do remember seeing some tests failing on that platform which passed
on others back when I did a few years ago.

For those interested in running CPAN smokers on OpenBSD, I just merged changes
on that project that allows to define an arbitrary number of users* inside the
VM and define all options available to perlbrew to compile a new perl for those
users (see perlbrew help install), all this inside the Vagrantfile.
Adding the options --noman and --notest with perlbrew to running the install
with parallel, I was able to reduce provisioning time by about 30%. It should
be simple to define different sets of configuration.
See https://github.com/ glasswalk3r/cpan-openbsd- smoker for more details.

* Just occurred to me that storage space might need to be extended in order to
acommodate that too. Unless, of course, the cpan client is not configured to
install the successfully tested distributions.
