In talking to some folks at SpiderOak few months ago, their technical co-founder said that the ability to get Go 1.6+ and Electron working on OpenBSD are the major technical hurdles to getting Semaphor (which is a privacy-friendly, security-minded collaborative platform one might compare to Slack or HipChat) running on our favorite operating system.
https://spideroak.com/solutions/semaphor/ https://spideroak.com/solutions/semaphor/source/ I'm running current, and I see we have Go 1.7 in ports, and in binary packages for some platforms. Electron's a different story. It's built on nodejs and requires python 2.7 (both of which I've also already installed) but it looks like the build scripts don't even take *BSD into consideration and I'm at a dead end. Electron: https://github.com/electron/electron/ "Build Instructions": https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/development/build-instructions-linux.md I am not a developer. At best, I'm an excited end-user that's got a lot of sysadmin experience. I can apply patches to programs, compile basic stuff if the Makefiles aren't totally hosed, and maybe sometimes tweak code a bit, but this stuff really isn't my strong suit at all. I can sometimes get things to work. This isn't one of them. Anyone have some pointers for me? Would ports@ be a better place for this?
