Re: Install language: OS X 10.15.5, pspp-1.3.0-g69a18e796

[Ben Pfaff]

I keep thinking it would be nice to have automatic builds of PSPP for
Mac OS and for Windows, in the same way that we have them for
GNU/Linux. It would be helpful to our users.

Regarding Mac, I don't have a Mac OS system, nor do I want to acquire
one. The Travis system at travis-ci.org can do autobuilds for Mac.
However, there are a couple of obstacles to using it for PSPP from a
GNU point of view:
* It only builds from Github, so we would have to mirror PSPP to
Github. I don't think the GNU project approves of Github because of
its proprietary implementation and proprietary Javascript.
* Travis itself has a proprietary implementation and proprietary Javascript.

I'd be very pleased if someone could point me to a more-free alternative.
