Hello,
To ease portability testing of GNU software,
I've created a collection of virtual-machines of POSIX-compatible,
Free-Software operating systems.
These are pre-configured with programs required for building autotools-based
projects.
If anyone is interested in using them, downloads and more information are
available here:
http://www.nongnu.org/pretest/
I've sent few reports based on these VMs to various mailing lists
(and except the MINIX case, I hope the signal-to-noise ratio was good enough to
be considered useful).
OSes include:
gNewSense, Trisquel,
Debian, Ubuntu (only the free repositories),
CentOS, OpenSUSE,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD,
GNU Hurd, DilOS (OpenSolaris-like), MINIX.
Downloads here:

In this first version, testing is done manually.
In future versions, I hope to automate large parts of it (that is - given a tarball, run
"configure + make + make check" on all VMs). Integration with other
infrastructures (like libvirt) is also a goal.
I will try to test future tarballs sent to platform-testers.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed,
(Please reply to address@hidden )
