About Taler on *BSD

xBSD porting and packaging

GNU Taler is a privacy-preserving microtransaction and electronic payment system. This project will make sure that the entire Taler software stack is natively available on a number of operating systems beyond the already available (and obviously popular) Linux operating system. This will allow sellers (“merchants”) to use their operating system of choice when integrating and deploying Taler. More specifically, the main target is the BSD family of UNIX-like operating systems - such as NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Apple’s MacOS X. The work includes porting and packaging as well as developing appropriate documentation on how exactly to create a properly working set-up. This allows merchants wanting to use Taler to get started quickly without having to engage in time-consuming and error-prone steps like building the software from source.
