@JdeBP I can confirm that redo-1.5, djbwares-11, and nosh-1.41 build packages just fine on both #FreeBSD 13.5 and 14.3.

Build logs on 14.3 in case you end up spotting something interesting:

- redo-1.5: https://gist.github.com/ermo/98d627c15c7768e16c42d460356bbd7e
- djbwares-11: https://gist.github.com/ermo/238af242324aabca481bb9ebd37e1ff4
- nosh-1.41: https://gist.github.com/ermo/166ecefe1599104e668cf7dafd833263

#redo #djbwares #nosh

That may well be useful.

#redo version 1.2 (sic!) is in the #FreeBSD ports tree. I was just talking to @schmonz about the state of that port and how I have no real way to let the person behind it know that it's in very poor shape.

Neither #djbwares nor #nosh are in the FreeBSD ports tree. Presumably there are people working on ports, but that one of them was a decade ago an undergraduate on the other side of the planet shows the kind of barriers in place here.

@schmonz @lukeshu

I actually looked for contact details for Po-Chuan Hsieh, for the FreeBSD port, so that I could let xem know how messed up that port was; as I noted before. But there's only a wildly (a decade) out of date LinkedIn listing and an opaque FreeBSD account.

The Parabola packaging of redo is several versions out of date, and has the pre-pre-Brexit URLs. Arch is on 1.4 at least but using the pre-Brexit URLs.

I don't even know about Void, Hyperbola, et al.

#redo #djbwares #nosh

@schmonz @lukeshu

I think that you possibly hadn't noticed before because it wasn't NetBSD; but now I've ported all three of #redo, #djbwares, and #nosh to NetBSD (testing on a non-amd64 architecture, no less!), as you've probably seen over the past few months. So now there's a system for building #NetBSD packages alongside Debian's, FreeBSD's, and OpenBSD's.

@schmonz @lukeshu

It has always been capable of building its own packages, by the way. (And since it's slashpackage, one can by design just package/compile it self-contained and not do the subsequent packaging step.)

It's not a Debian thing. Quite the opposite. For a long time no-one packaged any of this at all, so I made packages for people myself. Even now, no-one at all packages djbwares and there is only one that packages nosh.
