N.B.: now boot, no biggie.See alsonbpkg.

For increasingly arbitrary combinations of...

• Unixy host/guest OSes
• hardware architectures
• emulation and virtualization tools

...we have a consistent shell UI...

• forhost to control headless guest VMs:nb
• forguest to perform various in-system actions:nbvm

(There are also a few miscellaneous supporting scripts waiting to be properly integrated into these.)

Easy access to a variety of platforms serves a couple purposes for me:

• Test-build pkgsrc packages
• Test-build other Unix software (e.g.,notqmail)

What purposes could it serve for you?

If official pkgsrc infrastructure were to include an OS zoo...

• Developers could easily test on a variety of platforms
• Official builds for a variety of platforms could be more easily published

In short, pkgsrc would be easier to maintain carefully and to use widely.

I want these outcomes, so I'm designing with the target environment in mind.I'vedesigned and deployed to this infrastructure before.
