Hi all,
Wondering if there was a Mastodon client in OpenBSD's ports tree, I
did a `make search key=mastodon` and was promptly told I need to
install `portslist` before I can do that.
As Stuart Henderson said, there is toot, but I had an
odd issue with that on an old system I had. There is
also tut. tut I have had no issues with so far.
I covered tut in my reply. It will not build on mips64el.
Indeed, `golang` requirement. I did briefly look at what I'd have to
do, and it was a matter of bootstrapping Go with an older version that's
written in C/C++, then using that to build a newer Go.
Searching for "golang bootstrap" is an exercise in frustration, because
some genius web developer decided to call their JavaScript framework
"bootstrap", and someone else decided that a Golang environment should
be created using said framework. Talk about keyword hijacking.
Might be a "fun" project some day to get a Golang compiler on mips64el…
but a big job straight-up.
Likewise with Rust.
If I ever walk down this path, I'm happy to share binaries / scripts but
it won't be soon.
