Feature changed by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #308617, revision 4 Title: provide FreeBSD, Solaris and OSX build targets Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Description: The provision of build targets for the most important Unix derivatives like FreeBSD, Solaris and OSX would greatly enhance not only the capabilities of the build service but also the value it provides. While rebuilding packages for different distributions and Linux versions is often a rather cosmetic issue this could really leverage the future use of the build service and constitute a major advancement. This should not be impossible since there are also plans for a Windows build target. - Test Case: A package like gpodder could be built on the build service and have all of its target platforms reached instead of multiple people having to take action to serve all desired platforms now. The packagers list for gpodder can be found at http://gpodder.org/downloads.html for review. Tolkien referred to one ring to rule them all and extending OBS this way might start to come close. Use Case: FLOSS could remove any appearances of parochialism by being able to spread packages to the BSDs, Solaris, and MacOS X. Some packages like Banshee work across many flavors of Linux but presently are not supported on the BSD-rooted MacOS X. + Discussion: + #1: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-01-22 15:03:55) + Yes, doable, but currently no resources available here. + Speak up if someone wants to do this and needs support. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308617
