[linuxtools-dev] Re: Linux-only features

Hi,
A few of our features will not function on non-Linux (or maybe non-Unix)
OSes. I'd like to ensure that these features are not visible if one
views our update site from such an OS. I filed a bug to track this:
308661: Add OS filter to all features that are Linux-specific
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=308661
Can the feature owners please tell me if their functionality will work
on non-Linux OSes? Since many of us are only testing on Linux, I'd
rather be conservative and ensure that the stuff we're shipping isn't
exposed to an audience who will only encounter bugs. I'm looking for
feedback specifically from:
Jeff (libhover, autotools, changelog)
Libhover and ChangeLog are OS-independent.
Autotools is a bit trickier. It should work where there the autotool
and sh command exists (the Unix OSes plus Windows when Cygwin or MingW
is set up). Do we want to restrict it and wait for users to complain?
My preference would be documenting as officially unsupported with a
caveat that it should work.
