So, who'd like to volunteer?
Long ago I threatened to RM for the 8.5 line and never followed through.
I'd love to be able to get things working on MacOS if at all possible.
Otherwise, I can build a Linux or Win10 environment in a Virtual Machine
for everything.
Can you devote some time to working with me to bash-through the initial
setup?
Sure. Thanks for volunteering.
Thinking about this some more, the code signing part is a lot easier to
setup on Windows because of doing the signing of the Windows binaries.
It should be possible on other operating systems but I suspect getting
that working would take much longer than getting a Windows VM set up.
With that in mind if you want to get a Windows VM set up with:
- Java 8 (I tend to use latest OpenJDK release)
- Git client (with git on your path)
- subversion client (I find Tortoise svn works well)
- Ant (with ant on your path)
- GPG (with access to your signing key)
- checkout of 8.5.x
I'll get you set up on the DigiCert code signing system we use for
releases. Expect the usual "set up your account" emails from DigiCert.
Once your DigiCet account is set up you'll need to these instructions
(https://infra.apache.org/digicert-use.html) to obtain your credentials
and set up for signing windows binaries on windows.
Ping me when you have everything set up and you have "ant release"
working minus the code signing - or if you need a hand at any point.
The DigiCert system is under active development with new features being
delivered regularly so things might not match exactly with the
instructions. Ping me if you have any questions.
