Re: [QGIS-Developer] Download url's macOS QGIS missing version info
Hi, the link on webpage is just symbolic link to last versions SUCCESSFULLY compiled. There was a massive blocker with the switch to C++17 in the last versions, which was resolved by reinstallation of whole server and updating all the tools to compile the stuff. Therefore the packager was not working for some period of time. Normally, the PR and LTR builds should be available within 24 hours after tagging of the qgis/QGIS server. Sometime I do not get notification that the builds are failing, so it is best to send me a mail to notify me. nightly: https://qgis.org/downloads/macos/nightly pr: https://qgis.org/downloads/macos/pr ltr: https://qgis.org/downloads/macos/ltr actual status could be also seen here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Mac-Packager Kind regards, Peter On Mon, Jun 21, 2021 at 6:13 AM Richard Duivenvoorde wrote: > Hi all, > > https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Website/issues/892 > and > https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Website/issues/894 > > people are asking about certain versions of the macOS installer.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] WSLg
For anyone who is tempted to "look", be aware that although Microsoft hasn't encouraged it, it has been possible for years to run X apps and even audio apps (using pulseaudio) in WSL. This new "WSLg" might provide nice out-of-the-box support, but it only works with WSL-2, which still has some major downsides compared to WSL-1, so depending on what you want to do, you might be better off with an old WSL-1 system. 1. WSL2 is touted as having better performance, but this relates to doing things inside the Linux system. It is apparently much slower for accessing files in the windows system, so that is officially discouraged 2. It grows to take up all your disk space: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4699 Regards, Alister > Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2021 12:08:33 +0100 > From: Tim Sutton > To: Gandalf the Gray > Cc: qgis-dev > Subject: Re: [QGIS-Developer] WSLg > Message-ID: > < > caes-dzr7gmzmtop-d+okzt2t52veclgx_lb358jksh3m2n3...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Nice!

[QGIS-Developer] Download url's macOS QGIS missing version info
Hi all, https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Website/issues/892 and https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Website/issues/894 people are asking about certain versions of the macOS installer. But as the actual version is not readable in the url, we (as website issue peeps) cannot check the actual version of the installer (without macOS machine). So these are either people too eager to check a newer version after a release, and packaging is just not finished, OR there is really an error. I can onderstand the reason for not putting the version in the dmz name, but a solution (for me to be able to check) is to package the dmz in a zip with a version name in it (AND update the versions in th upload site then too, just like we do for the Windows installers). Is this an doable option? Or should I just close macOS related issues with a "Please be patient while the macOS packagers are doing their work (and don't forget to donate time or money)" ;-) Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde ___ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

I used to do this in the past for InaSAFE (see https://github.com/inasafe/inasafe/blob/develop/scripts/windows-install-builder.nsi) though I haven't maintained it so I don't know how well the approach still works - it would need some tweaking to figure out which profile to install the plugin into. Theoretically you could make one installer per platform with all the binary bits encapsulated and then prompt the user to grab the appropriate installer for their OS.

Nice! And to balance out the universe, you can also run the windows build under wine ( https://gist.github.com/timlinux/8f5e76f3f5d7c10042356e0aa1da7676).
