Pre-built binaries about page

[I60R]

Thank you for suggesting this, and providing those very useful links.

I've done initial setup on travis branch.
There also is testing release that will be deleted after I merge travis branch into master.

Can you review it? There are some points I doubt:

1. Enabling i686 support
2. Disabling freebsd support
3. Is that optimal way to build multiple binaries?
4. Is travis.yml optimal (that's my first CI setup)?

It all seems reasonable. I know the recent versions of trust use cross which adds a lot of extra complexity, so I might have missed some things when digging into your setup.

btw is there anything about this project that doesn't work on Windows? Should support for that be added?

Enabling i686 support

What is the concern? Whether to enable it or not? I'd probably say its fine to skip in this era

Disabling freebsd support

What is the concern?

Is that optimal way to build multiple binaries?

Looks like what I'd do. Again, I plan to make this part trivial in the future

Is travis.yml optimal (that's my first CI setup)?

For the bare bones of creating pre-built binaries, it seems fine. See my crate-ci documentation for how you can offload various parts of reviewing PRs onto your CI. If nothing else, it sets a clear bar for contributors that they are less likely to take personally when told to go fix it.

On an unrelated note, thought I'd pass along human-panic which is a recent creation of some CLI-WG members

Yes. I use named pipe for communication between page and pty-agent. That requires libc and some std::os::unix stuff, which fails to build on Windows.
Replacing that pipe with something more portable and drop libc dependency seems to be reasonable.
Edit: Windows also don't have /dev/stdin and /dev/stdout equivalents, which is critical.
So it's very unlikely that it will be supported

Disabling freebsd support

What is the concern?

It seems to be quite unpopular nowadays and there is very little chance that someone will find binaries for it useful

See my crate-ci documentation for how you can offload various parts of reviewing PRs onto your CI. If nothing else, it sets a clear bar for contributors that they are less likely to take personally when told to go fix it.

Okay, it does make sense, but before I need to decide about my own code style and probably fix some inconsistencies in code

Thank you, I will check it out

I've issued 1.0.0 version, binaries for it might be found on releases page
