That would be awesome! To be clear here, I haven't set up any Windows build services before that weren't "run this thing on this machine". Appveyor was just one of the first options I found that looked like what I had in mind (and it's the recommended option at https://packaging.python.org/appveyor). > How did you think it compared to CI on AWS? I've never used it, and I'll be honest... I opened up their "Quick start guide", saw it was 33 pages, and closed it forever. Maybe there are less insane docs somewhere? Anyway, I'd be fine with this as long as it was... simple. > Or running a Jenkins instance somewhere like DigitalOcean? DigitalOcean doesn't seem to provide Windows servers, unless I'm missing something? So my desires for this build process are that it should be as simple as possible, and it needs to not require the purchase of a Windows license [0]. Given that the Windows build process for Meld is: * Install Python 3.x * Install GIO + GTK+/glib/gtksourceview * Install cx_freeze * run python setup.py * copy the resulting MSI I feel like the automation should reflect that simplicity. cheers, Kai [0] Because that would either be mine, or I'd have to talk to a lawyer about making the project a non-profit and... ugh so much work that doesn't seem worthwhile. _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
