X.Org Testing Ground Toolkit v0.0.2 Adds NetBSD & FreeBSD Support

([X.Org] 5 Minutes Ago X.Org Testing Ground)


Last week marked the inaugural release of [1]the X.Org Testing Ground Toolkit to make it easier to compile the X.Org Server . That v0.0.1 release was limited to supporting Debian/Apt-based Linux distributions while now this helper toolkit has been extended to support FreeBSD and NetBSD too.

The main focus on today's X.Org Testing Ground v0.0.2 release is on extending platform coverage to include NetBSD 10 and FreeBSD 14 operating systems too. This open-source tool will auto-detect the host platform and then pick the right jail/chroot to leverage for then easily building and launching the X.Org Server.

The focus with this X.Org Testing Ground Toolkit is on making it easier for users to test out the very latest Git development code for these components in checking for bugs or other issues and moving forward to potentially integrate more CI/CD-type testing.

Those interested in the v0.0.2 release can be find out more information via the [2]xorg-devel mailing list .

phoronix

I. Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of
its situation.
Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He
loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to
look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per
second per second takes over.
II. Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter
intervenes suddenly.
Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon
characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone
pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely.
Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion the
stooge's surcease.
III. Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation
conforming to its perimeter.
Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the
speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless
cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through
the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The
threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.
