Hi,

many thanks for the pretest/platform hub at Utah!

There, I noticed that for aarch64-linux and amd64-freebsd104 (*), the
xasy symlink is missing, although the asy binary itself is available.

At least for aarch64-linux, this is accidentally correct. Technically,
adding the symlink would be trivially simple.

But as discussed elsewhere, my asy binary is built on Debian Stretch
(and linked against its ageing libGLEW-2.0.0). However, xasy needs some
Python dependencies (python3-{speg,cson}) that are too recent to be
packaged at all prior to Buster. So (unless you maintain your own
Python stack, or you do evil things to your package management), xasy
is factually unavailable on this platform.

I don't know about FreeBSD 10.4 in this respect.


Best,
Johannes


(*) Nelson: Is “amd64-freebsd-10.4” (besides “amd64-freebsd104”) pure
redundancy, or due to some legacy naming scheme? Same with
“x86_64-dragonflybsd-541”
