Supporting non Linux OSes like FreeBSD/WASM

[Kreijstal]

That means this could work for freebsd or even wasm, correct?
Or do we assume linux kernel/syscalls?
Is this a linux focused package manager, what is the scope?

[Azathothas]

Binaries/Packages built with .host *-Linux will only work where there's Linux kernel/syscalls.
Currently, everything that's built, is built with only Linux as host.
This doesn't mean the binaries/packages won't work on FreeBSD but you would have to enable linux compat.
But natively? No, they won't work.

Is this a linux focused package manager?

For now, yes.
If you look at our SBUILD spec, you will see we do have these listed:

x_exec:
  os:
    - "freebsd"
    - "illumos"
    - "linux"
    - "netbsd"
    - "openbsd"
    - "redox"

But to do this, we need more maintainers & also servers to test out builds.

what is the scope?

For now, it's to be able to work on Any-Linux with aarch64 & x86_64 architectures.
In the future? We shall see how successful we get with Linux first & then decide on our priorities accordingly.
