=== Containers and FreeBSD: Cloud Native Buildpacks Links: + link:https://buildpacks.io/[Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNBs)] URL: link:https://buildpacks.io/[] + link:https://github.com/buildpacks/pack[GitHub Buildpacks repository] URL: link:https://github.com/buildpacks/pack[] Contact: Robert Gogolok <[email protected]> link:https://buildpacks.io/[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 link:https://buildpacks.io/docs/for-platform-operators/how-to/integrate-ci/pack/[pack] on FreeBSD. With the following changes, it is now possible to compile `pack` on FreeBSD: * link:https://github.com/buildpacks/pack/pull/2337[Remove obsolete // +build lines #2337] * link:https://github.com/buildpacks/pack/pull/2339[Use unix build constraint #2339] * link:https://github.com/buildpacks/pack/pull/2357[Support FreeBSD build phase #2357] The next steps are: - Provide missing FreeBSD functionality to `lifecycle` and `pack`. - Further investigate FreeBSD as a build target in `lifecycle`. - Provide `lifecycle` and/or `pack` via FreeBSD ports. - Investigate the idea of FreeBSD buildpacks for some popular languages, similar to link:https://paketo.io/[paketo buildpacks].
