The GitLab-based Continuous Integration (CI) config has been +enhanced. An official FreeBSD CI server is up, and all supported tests are now +also running on BSD. + +`dependency_management` tool is now capable of recursively resolving +dependencies down to the system level, with some implementations still under +investigation/review. Based on this feature, I implemented a +[script](https://gist.github.com/yzgyyang/13ebb46a5c90ac624b5c6eb43deedc0d) to +demonstrate the ability of bootstrapping coala Go bears on a bare-metal FreeBSD +system +([Screen record for the demo](https://asciinema.org/a/0poVbHE7lqehV4islFo6cptjb)), +and it can be expanded to support multiple platforms. + +Further design and implementation issues have been identified and logged. + +Aside from the project, I got myself involved in the community by reporting and +solving issues across the coala and coala-bears repo and also in upstream +projects. I also did code review and helped other newcomers get onboard. + +#### Challenges + +Most tasks went smoothly. The FreeBSD CI part is challenging, since such +infrastructure doesn't exist before, and thus it takes a lot of time to do +experiments and testing to make things right. + +The end goal of this project is open-ended while the timeframe is limited, +which I found to be the most challenging part of the project. Aside from the +actually coding part, I spent much time and energy exploring different package +management tools, and communicating with my mentors and maintainers of related +internal projects, in order to find the best design choices. + +#### Work to be done + +The FreeBSD CI could be improved by adding a new runner +[upstream](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/issues/3358). + +Support for more BSDs and more bears could be implemented, and more design +documents should be logged. + +The concept of recursively installation on Unix-like platforms is proved, but +the actual inplementation of such feature requires more discussion about the +design in a longer timeframe. I plan to continue following up on this in the +future. + +Resolving dependencies using Repology metadata is a nice addition to the +project. It was planned to be implemented in accordance with the +[Automation of Dependency Management using Repology](https://projects.coala.io/#/projects?project=automation_of_dependency_management_using_repology&lang=en) +project, but this part seems to be stale at the moment.
