I.e., can, and should, we get into the business of making binary packages for
OSes other than Windows and OS X?
I don't know whether an Ubuntu buildbot could make RPMs - and I don't know
whether generic RPMs work (as in "an RPM that'll work on any version of any
Linux distribution that uses RPMs and that has sufficiently recent versions of
the libraries Wireshark uses), so I'm not sure we could build "RPMs" as opposed
to "RHEL/Fedora/blah blah RPMs" or "{pick other RPM-using Linux)" RPMs, much
less whether we could build an RPM that works on "RHEL XXX and newer/Fedora YYY
and newer/..." rather than RPMs for individual versions of RHEL/Fedora/etc.. I
also don't know whether we can build x86 and x86-64 binaries on the same
machine, or whether we'd need two buildbots.
I don't know what OSes other than Solaris would use SVR4 packages; we could
build SPARC packages, but I don't know whether we could build x86 packages
without a Solaris x86 buildbot.
