Calling *BSD Testers!

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

The Humm and Strumm has recently gotten experimental *BSD support. So experimental, in fact, that it has yet to be tested! Neither Ricardo nor I have a BSD box on which to test it. Basically the new code (which is all contained in the system:: namespace) is written using the documentation I could find online (lots of it was nice POSIX calls). As such, the code is completely theoretical. We don't know whether it will even compile.

We are looking for testers who run a BSD system to test our new support. If you are interested, you can find information on how to check out the source code (check out from the PatrickNiedzielski branch) and how to build that source code. Currently, we only need to check for successful compiles, but soon, we will have unit tests for system::. We'd also love if you sign up for our mailing lists—the hummstrumm-dev and hummstrumm-updates mailing lists are a good way to keep up on the development.

Thanks!
