howdy < (We do still lack a macOS build server.) i skimmed the docs but the only real mention of macos was here https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/main/build/mac_installer.sh
the product of mac_installer.sh is a .dmg as per # upload dmg to final location upload_installer $tag geoserver-$tag.dmg assuming * no signing of the distribution with an apple developer certificate -> if signing required details are required on how this is currently accomplished * mac_installer.sh is the workflow entrypoint for building a macos distribution * no macos build server required if the above assumptions are true builds can be accomplished at will in azure devops as follows * ensure an organization in azure devops * ensure a public project to host the build, ensuring open source sla which is unlimited builds * create a pipeline that can clone the required assets from github * ensure a linux build agent * add a script task to the pipeline initialized to the location required by mac_installer.sh * ensure pipeline auth to the upload location * ensure pipeline artifact versioning * ensure permissions and pipeline triggers if no personpower is available to accomplish these tasks certainly i can make those things happen these are some pipelines i currently operate in azure devops - the target environment is kubernetes, the artifacts are npm and nuget packages and python whatevers and docker images, with an expectation that the customer may want to operate a geoserver instance in the cluster, hence my interest * https://dev.azure.com/electricrucible/the%20horseless%20newspaper/_build * https://dev.azure.com/electricrucible/metoffice/_build on the matter of task 'ownership' i would suggest that if there is a corporate entity associated with producing geoserver builds, that entity should own the azure devops organization to accrue the benefits of the open source azure devops sla, and delegate permissions to whoever is going to accomplish the above tasks regards ________________________________ From: Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, December 24, 2023 2:26 AM To: sechelé delaruse <sech...@ataxlab.com> Cc: geoserver-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <geoserver-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Geoserver-devel] windows build server That is interesting; my employer GeoCat has setup Jenkins on an azure build server.
