Thanks jürgen for the work you have done. making a mac bot a priority seems to be easier said than done. We have had a ticket open with infra for more than 2 years, and despite many pokes from arist and myself, there are still no date when we can have one
We have the same problem with a number of our other platforms, and infra does not seems very busy with other issues than to care about our specialities. In other words, I strongly believe we have to depend on non-apache hardware to produce a major part of the binaries. A new release manager should provide or have access to several VMs in order to cut the release. It has always looked as if Jürgen had direct or indirect access to all the platforms needed. A release manager does not need to be PMC, but only the PMC have binding votes for a release......this can theoritically lead to a situation where the vote ends with only +1, but the release manager gives a non-binding -1. If nothing else that should lead to a funny board report. just my thoughts. rgds jan I Ps. it seems markmail does not support inline responses, or am I doing something wrong ?
