Yep, Jenkins could be very verbose, but well, it fit well Continuous Integration need (more than just a build engine). And I'm pretty experienced with it :) > Buildbot is lighter weight and sooner or later one figures > out the double half nelson hammerlock to pin buildbot in > the wrestling match of CI. > > You want a full distro on Mac OS X based on RPM? Count me in … I'd like to. May be it's covered by OpenPKG project ? BTW, we are many tired to see MacPorts or Brew requiring to download all internet and build it locally.

What do you means by RPM batteries included ? beecrypt and popt are reported mandatory in 5.x release (from what I see in configure). >> My Lion machine is using 64bits kernel and I can't succeed build >> beecrypt in universal mode (32/64 bits) ;( >> > > Beecrypt ends up in -lrpmmisc if building > --with-beecrypt=internal beecrypt internal means it will be build statically in rpm ?

OSX could build it binaries including many formats, aka x86 32bits and x86 64bits.
