Our README states that currently supported platforms include: Windows,
MacOS X, Linux variants and OS/2. I would like to add FreeBSD to the
list. I have no idea if such status requires some formal procedure so I
will ask here:
I don't know every ASF policy. But I would guess it's up to the PMC to
define it. And we don't have a formal procedure.
But I think we should agree commonly what "supported platform" means and
what we understand. So, a short list of requirements would be helpful.
This will then be put into the Wiki for future reference.
FreeBSD is AFAICT, the only OS that ships AOO in it's official releases,
we have also been adding new features including (recently) support for
the PowerPC. This would not imply the ASF doing binary releases,
although we have a buildbot and I would expect, and it fact it happens,
that there is developer diligence in fixing breakages it detects.
Here I see some points for the requirements list. And "supported" could
mean it's not automatically available for download.
Would anyone have some insight about any particular policy within the
project, or perhaps can I go ahead and add FreeBSD to the list for 4.2?
I see it as what Andrea and Matthias wrote so far. But I would say,
let's discuss what we want.
BTW:
Offering binary builds for FreeBSD doesn't make sense as the normal way
would be to get the OpenOffice as source (the so-called ports) from a
FreeBSD server, compile it yourself and then just use it. So,
downloading and installing binaries is not the normal way. Do I remember
right?
