greetings all, What is everyone's thoughts about hosting non-x86 images at Haiku-Files? There's a few reasons I'm asking... Even though those platforms are no where near the level of x86 functionality, they are still a valuable resource for people who are interested in the ports -- either for testing the images, to simply check the status once in a while, or what-not. There's also a certain "ooh, aaah, shiny" aspect of having those ports visible. :) But more importantly, the current trademarks policy/distro guidelines is fuzzy at best about 3rd parties hosting non-official self-built images. Since the build system allows for variation, there could be differences in what a 3rd party provides and what is provided officially. Eg, not enabling --use-xattr on a proper filesystem *could* lead to unexpected issues. The various "--include-*" options, as well as any stray items in UserBuildConfig could also lead to end-product differences. Currently, my Build-O-Matic machine is tracking X86 & PPC. Arm, m68k, and mipsel are not tracked at this point. m68k requires too many local modifications, arm required a custom build command (i'm working on fixing this in a new rewrite -- http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/haikubuildomatic/repository/show/branches/rewrite2), and mipsel --- well, i cannot recall exactly why it is not tracked. So basically, PPC and eventually Arm could be built automatically. For uploading the non-x86 images and the frequency, I'm open to suggestions. * Maybe a cron script for bi-weekly/monthly uploading * Giving trusted people who are interested in those ports, ssh access to my BOm machine to manually trigger and upload * ...? --mmadia
