Hi Michele,

Is it really mandatory?
While building in an air gapped environment is a good thing, it should be 
optional, and the release process should be possible using a CI/CD pipeline.


b) you say

This is a little too vague for me.
Could you please list the GitHub URLs of all the projects that need to be built?
I cloned the https://github.com/apache/openserverless project along its 
submodules and I got this:

 851e3774f014f193155233ec7997f597af46636b cli (v0.1.0-2501041342.dev-6-g851e377)
+a6adb9c806aa6020a54888aa75c7dbf339b8826c devcontainer (heads/main)
+d2b2e020d8291ab264703ad336725d29da746c43 olaris (heads/main)
+982e48ecfcbaae86ca538bda2146b3e30f260cf3 olaris-op 
(0.1.0-incubating.2512151437)
 b1c2ce7b63e5cec138d1b4ab95986df28cd30132 runtimes (2506091954-3-gb1c2ce7)
 e45b68f3e8a36705d388ab5608d7cb256f55465c site (heads/main)
 7cb7f6d64e54949cbb7cd634997b75d244454d4d testing (heads/main)
 2d293c9871a5b8ace39e6b42ab152675bb1967f9 vscode (heads/main)

Which ones have I to build? How?

Here you are the current situation:

- cli: no info on how to build
- devcontainer: I don't think this needs to be updated
- olaris: I don't think this needs to be updated
- olaris-op: I don't think this needs to be updated
- runtimes: it looks like `task build-common` does what I need
- site: it looks like `task build` does what I need
- testing: had no time to check yet
- vscode: had no time to check yet

Then you cite:

openwhisk, operator, runtimes, and related components like the streamer

Could you please provide the GitHub URL for each of them?

Last:
https://github.com/apache/openserverless-build its name would suggest that it's 
what I need to build the whole thing but I'm not sure either (I haven't found 
any instructions and the page refers to a personal GitHub repository 
(https://github.com/francescotimperi/openserverless-controller) which seems 
weird.

Thank you
Daniele
