Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNBs) transform application source code into container images. Those images can run on any cloud. With buildpacks, organizations can concentrate the knowledge of container build best practices within a specialized team, instead of having application developers across the organization individually maintain their own Dockerfiles.
My goal for this quarter was to enable building the tool pack on FreeBSD.
With the following changes, it is now possible to compile
pack on FreeBSD:
The next steps are:
-
Provide missing FreeBSD functionality to
lifecycleandpack. -
Further investigate FreeBSD as a build target in
lifecycle. -
Provide
lifecycleand/orpackvia FreeBSD ports. -
Investigate the idea of FreeBSD buildpacks for some popular languages, similar to paketo buildpacks.
