Can we get a process to build appimages?

Given that Craft already has the majority of the infrastructure for this, i'd suggest adding appimage support to it which should then make adding support to the Binary Factory straight forward and efficient in terms of resource utilisation. Existing work on Appimages has tended to be application specific and therefore not suitable for easy reuse (which Craft would solve) Cheers, Ben > > On Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 3:47 PM Ben Cooksley wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> >> As part of changes to help improve the capacity, capability and >> security of the Binary Factory and CI system, i'm going to be >> performing a rebuild of several of the physical hosts responsible for >> performing builds on the CI system. >> >> Following these changes, signing operations for Flatpak and Android >> builds will have been shifted away from the machines responsible for >> handling the actual builds, and the system will have an additional >> machine added to handle builds. >> >> This will also pave the way for the build process for Snaps being >> brought to the Binary Factory (although there are other issues which >> may hold up the delivery of that due to excessive requirements imposed >> by the Snap tooling) >> >> During this time however, the overall capacity of the system may be >> reduced and the capability to perform some builds may be unavailable. >> >> Should anyone have any upcoming releases that require the services of >> the Binary Factory & CI system it would be appreciated if you could >> please let me know so I can take that into account for scheduling the >> various changes. >> >> Thanks, >> Ben Cooksley >> KDE Sysadmin
[IMPORTANT] Binary Factory & CI System Maintenance
Hi all, As part of changes to help improve the capacity, capability and security of the Binary Factory and CI system, i'm going to be performing a rebuild of several of the physical hosts responsible for performing builds on the CI system. Following these changes, signing operations for Flatpak and Android builds will have been shifted away from the machines responsible for handling the actual builds, and the system will have an additional machine added to handle builds. This will also pave the way for the build process for Snaps being brought to the Binary Factory (although there are other issues which may hold up the delivery of that due to excessive requirements imposed by the Snap tooling) During this time however, the overall capacity of the system may be reduced and the capability to perform some builds may be unavailable. Should anyone have any upcoming releases that require the services of the Binary Factory & CI system it would be appreciated if you could please let me know so I can take that into account for scheduling the various changes. Thanks, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin
