RFC: removing non-linux platform support from xfsprogs

RFC: removing non-linux platform support from xfsprogs

[Eric Sandeen]

There's a bunch of mucking about to try to build xfsprogs on non-linux
platforms.  Is anyone using that, or care about it?  If not, I propose
removing it all in a cruft-reducing effort.

If I'm missing some good reason for it to be there, please educate me,
and I'll leave it alone.

In particular, Jan - I know you did a lot of this work - do you still
use it?

Thanks,
-Eric

I used the macos stuff at the beginning to get into the code with
little risk of breaking anything. Until it is possible to mount xfs in
the other systems, xfsprogs is useless there... So, I'm ok with the
removal of macos code. I don't know how it is with the other systems,
though.

Cheers,
Jan

Ok, thanks - honestly if you still use it, that's fine.  But if you're
not ... and nobody else is ... let's nuke it.  ;)

Ten months and nobody else has said anything, let's nuke non-linux
support.

Sure. Are you working on it, or would you appreciate if someone took
care of it? :-)
