It still contains the =build directory and the source. Removing them
would save a lot of space... Also, I get:

$ tar xjf OroboROX-0.9.8-FreeBSD_x86.tar.bz2
bzip2: (stdin): trailing garbage after EOF ignored

What did you use to make the archive?

I can upload it to sf.net once you're ready.

Sure, you just need 0publish:

$ 0alias 0publish http://0install.net/2006/interfaces/0publish

Then do this to create an XML description of it:

$ 0publish OroboROX-FreeBSD-x86.xml \
  --set-version=0.9.8 \
  --archive-url=http://.../OroboROX-0.9.8-FreeBSD_x86.tar.bz2 \
  --archive-extract=OroboROX-0.9.8 \
  --set-arch=FreeBSD-i486 \
  --set-main=AppRun

Notes:

- Set the URL either to your URL or the sf.net one, once available.

- You might need a different string for "FreeBSD-i486"; uname -a will
probably say what it should be.

- The name, summary, etc can be based on the ones from
http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/OroboROX.

You should then be able to download and run it like this:

$ 0launch ./OroboROX-FreeBSD-x86.xml

To add it to the main interface:

- Add an element like this to the XML:

  <feed-for interface='http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/OroboROX'/>

- Decide on a URL for it and sign it with your GPG key:

$ 0publish OroboROX-FreeBSD-x86.xml \
  --xmlsign \
  --set-interface-uri=http://csusap.csu.edu.au/~lcook06/OroboROX-FreeBSD-x86.xml

The upload it. I can then add it as a feed to the main interface.

Thanks,
