Hello,
As the subject says MonetDB web site does not list FreeBSD as a supported platform for MonetDB. Neither was I able to find MonetDB in the FreeBSD ports tree (/usr/ports/databases). Is there some portability issue which prevents that or is it only due to lack of time and/or resources?
We did try once and fixed the problems we found then. But we do not currently have access on a FreeBSD machine and therefor cannot run our nightly testing easily. So its a lack of time and/or resources.
Of course, we're also inerested in getting (remote access to) systems that are not yet in our nightly testing pool (cf. http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/TestWeb/Platforms/), like e.g., FreeBSD ;-) In principle, MonetDB 4.10.2 (and higher) should compile and work also on FreeBSD, however lacking (access to) a respective system, we cannot test this ourselves. To "support" FreeBSD, we'd need remote ssh access to such a system, ~1GB temporary disk space and the "right" to run nightly (0:00 CET - ~8:00 CET) tests. Cheers, Stefan
We are afcourse allways interested in geting MonetDB part of distributions or extra components to distributions (like FreeBSD ports is ?).
