Hello all, Again, me and Perry Werneck have been building ooRexx for SUSE and other distros on SUSE's Build Service for a while now. It's available from SUSE's official repositories.
This is the devel project, for SUSE-based distros and RHEL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:misc/ooRexx And this is Perry's branch, for other distros (including Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu): https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:PerryWerneck:pw3270/ooRexx We did rewrite the SPECs and added a couple of patches, though. We could work something out if someone needs maintainer access to it.

In the meantime, we have a small group building ooRexx on their own machines, as an interim solution. I have, unfortunately, fallen ill a week ago, but right before that, I have spoken to Mark Hessling and Chip Davis about a new build machine, and to the small group of volunteers who are building ooRexx ‘at home’. In the meantime, I still need to receive the KVM code that sets up the VM’s; there is no need for the build machine to be in one place though, we might also set up a series of machines around the world and coordinate the builds centrally, or even just have a scheduled pull & build from crontab. My preference however is a Jenkins instance that delivers meaningful feedback to the developer that did a checkin and gives us a dashboard to look at the status of the platform builds. At the moment I am most interested to get in touch with people who can provide support for less used platforms. What we need to build is a community that can support ooRexx on different platforms and can share the burden of work that needs to be done; automation is our friend here and needs to be set up quickly. At the moment, the core building group consists of: Jean-Louis Faucher: MacOSX Ubuntu Windows 8.1, Publican (Documentation) Michael Lueck: Ubuntu, Debian René Jansen: RaspPi(debian) MacOSX z/OS Linux for Z Dave Jones (Linux for Z) Enrico Sorichetti (Cmake & Clang (MacOSX, WindowsXP)) In the coming weeks, we will be working on tests for 5.0, and additional installers for 4.2.0. At the moment, I am not sure what part of the testsuite is cleared by 5.0, and I would like to be able to divide up that work between some people over different platforms. I think the building will need to get priority after we have cleared that hurdle. One of the things that the team is going to be working on, is the ‘portable’ version of ooRexx, which can be installed from zip archive and will need no admin authorities. If done well, this should also cover some X86 Linux distributions where we do not have a build. Also, more work needs to go into the package managers like yum, apt-get and brew, not to mention docker and vagrant images, because those seem the current wave of how people want to get their software. I will be putting up a table of builders on the oorexx website, and I think it would be a good idea if we put the names over there of the people who want to take first responsibility for a platform (OS, version, instruction set architecture. When we have sorted things out, the build machine will follow soon. At the moment we miss Solaris, AIX, Beaglebone, z/VM - who steps up? best regards, René. > On 3 jun. 2015, at 17:15, Dan Carter <[email protected]> wrote: > > Jon, what are the characteristics (bitness, OS, etc.) that are needed? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
