FreeBSD Builder

This is a fork of cross-platform-actions/freebsd-builder with customisations to meet the needs of various Please build and test processes. It is not guaranteed to be useful for any other purpose.

Changes to upstream

• Only the FreeBSD 14.3 x86-64 image is built.
• Additional run-time dependencies for Please and the pleasew script are installed from Ports:
  • bash
  • curl
  • git
• Additional dependencies for Please's python-rules plugin are installed:
  • The python3xx packages and their corresponding py3xx-sqlite3 packages are installed from Ports.
  • pip (and its dependencies, setuptools and wheel, on Python < 3.12) are installed manually as site packages in the above Python installations.
  • The python3 package is installed from Ports, providing a symlink to Ports' default Python interpreter at python3 in PATH.

Release version numbering

Releases are versioned similarly to how they are upstream. Version numbers take the form vX.Y.Z-please.N, where:

• X.Y.Z is the upstream release on which this release is based;
• N is a build revision specific to this repo, which is incremented each time a release is created and is reset to 1 whenever the repo is rebased on a newer upstream release.
