Provide builds for OpenBSD

[teratorn]

Would it be possible to provide builds for openbsd?

While it should be possible, I'm not sure the process of adding platforms to the official distribution pipeline.
It is less of a technical matter and more of a logistical one, as the builds have to be maintained, stored, and served.

Randomly pinging @Stebalien
Do we have any requirements or process for adding platforms?
Should we instead try to cooperate with 3rd party maintainers? In this case, OpenBSD package maintainers. I know @kyledrake was interested in this as well.

It looks like the current issue is that go-ipfs doesn't build on openbsd due to our fuse library. I've filed a bug: ipfs/kubo#5334.

FUSE I believe is a Linux thing mostly, so fixing this will likely also make it work on other BSD distros (FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc.) as well.

This FUSE, right? https://github.com/billziss-gh/cgofuse - https://man.openbsd.org/fuse.4
Maybe it's just the Go support? I'm no expert on FUSE, however.

That implementation is the one I am targeting for the next version of mount. repo
The current version uses https://github.com/bazil/fuse

Hi,

OpenBSD is a moving target that provides no backward compat at all. Generally it's better to have binaries built via the ports tree. I've already imported go-ipfs into the ports tree, although we are little behind.

Fixed in #299 (with no fuse support).
