“VA Linux has joined a number of prosperous companies that are
pumping up developer resources for the Linux community by
announcing a new service to help accelerate the development of
Linux applications.”
“The new SourceForge CompileFarm service, a part of the VA Linux
SourceForge resource site, will give open-source developers the
ability to build and test applications on multiple versions of both
the Linux and BSD (Berkeley System Distribution) operating systems
over the Internet.”
“CompileFarm will initially allow testing on Linux
distributions by Caldera, Debian, Red Hat Linux and Slackware,
along with FreeBSD. The service allows developers to switch to
any supported distribution, from a single command line, for the
purpose of compiling and testing programs in multiple
environments.”
