on the first day of christmas i noticed that this url
https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/developer/installer/index.html contains
the following content
<snip>
At the time the GeoServer project does not have financial resources and man
power to stand up a Windows build server (if you can help with this, please
contact the developer list)
</snip>
if this is no longer true please disregard
if build server still required
* i happen to know that as an open source project the geoserver project can
run unlimited builds in azure devops. so can anyone else who clones the repo in
a public azure devops project
* after investigating the geoserver github actions i saw nothing
incompatible with triggering builds in azure devops in collaboration with
specific github actions
* the primary showstopper risk seems to revolve around headless
installation of nsis itself and its dependencies on azure build servers as per
* extract the .DLL files (AccessControl.dll) and copy it to the NSIS
plugins directory usually C:\Program Files\NSIS\Plugins\x86-ansi
if build server still required and mitigations exist for installing nsis and
dependencies on cloud build agents, i offer to
* evaluate the full build process for the windows geoserver
* deliver a proof of concept of a suitable pipeline that runs in azure
devops
please advice
