Tinderbox is a package building system for FreeBSD ports, based on
|
|
official Portbuild scripts used on pointyhat building cluster.
|
|
Tinderbox was written by Joe Marcus Clarke.
|
|
|
|
You can define multiple jails (base system versions) and multiple
|
|
portstrees. The combination of jail and portstree is called a build.
|
|
A Tinderbox jail is not what is understood as a jail in FreeBSD,
|
|
it is in fact a given world in a chroot. Tinderbox supports automatic
|
|
tracking of dependencies and only rebuilds packages that changed
|
|
since last run. Tinderbox has support for email notification of
|
|
failed builds. Tinderbox also integrates well with ccache.
|
|
|
|
Tinderbox is designed to easily provide package sets of ports you
|
|
need, for platforms and architectures you need. Tinderbox is also
|
|
excellent tool for testing new ports and port upgrades, especially
|
|
for testing dependencies and packing lists. It's also useful for
|
|
testing ports on various releases of FreeBSD, since you can run
|
|
FreeBSD 6.X world as a jail on FreeBSD 7.X/8.X host.
