In particular, we run AndreasSystemProfiler, Control, FFI, Nebraska,<br>
Nutcracker, OSProcess, Quaternion, Phexample, RoelTyper, SqueakCheck,<br>
Universes, WebClient, XML-Parser and Zippers against each of Squeak<br>
4.3, 4.4 and 4.5. You can run this same build script on multiple<br>
platforms: CentOS, Ubuntu 10.04, whatever Travis is running, Windows<br>
7. It ought to work anywhere that Ruby works and the code compiles. I<br>
haven't tested it on OS X yet, and it almost certainly won't work on<br>
FreeBSD because the Interpreter doesn't compile there [1].<br>
<br>
I still use the old shell scripts for the SqueakTrunk and<br>
ReleaseSqueakTrunk jobs, but these could be replaced with Rake, simply<br>
by running `rake release` instead of `rake test`.<br>

been solved on the Cog branch, but Eliot and I have yet to get Cog<br>
compiling on FreeBSD (for other reasons).<br>
