Very cool. I had 1.x nearly working a while back...haven't looked at 2.0 yet. If you need help on OSX specific things, be sure to contact us...

Ok, let me know if you want/need an account on our little dev machine for testing anything. Note: I am talking about being able to *run* catalyst on OSX, not build OSX targets with catalyst. I'm sure that support would be something we added later as the project matured. Yeah of course, I wasn't expecting you to work miracles ;) For the package testing stuff, I should have a stage1 tarball done in the coming weeks(months?) that could be used to do proper chroot'd builds for Darwin/OS X. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

We do already have an application capable of doing tinderboxing for packages. It's one of the abilities of Catalyst. So all you would need to do is hook up your queue/control system to call Catalyst for actually doing the build env. setup and actual build. I've been playing with Catalyst's tinderbox myself recently, running multiple instances on a 128-node x86 cluster (1/node).
