As more and more users start using linux and netbsd, this could become
more and more of a problem. Jonathon and I think it makes sense for us
to maintain linux and netbsd binaries in the moira locker, with the
sipb-athena syspacks pointing to them. For now, we would continue to
build them out of the sipb-athena source tree. Over IAP, I'm planning
to `autoconfiscate' the moira source tree and incorporate the changes
from the sipb-athena to produce a public distribution of Moira 4.
After that, we would be able to build all of the binaries from one
tree.
I have no objections, but in the long run I think it would be a good
idea to find ways to automate building moira binaries out of the rel-eng
wash machines. Does rel-eng still have machines that could be used for
netbsd and Linux build machines? Or are we going to be stuck doing this
by hand, using staff members who happen to have access to SIPB build
machines? (This isn't necessarily a problem, since we can probably come
to a long-range accomondation with SIPB; but I think we should make
explicit what our long range support plan and commitments will be for
the Linux and NetBSD binaries.)
