Hey all, I'd like to share a pull request that should improve the ATC development experience for macOS users: https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/pull/4758
The PR lets you build the ATC RPMs without using Docker on macOS, any flavor of Linux, and even Cygwin (still targeting the RPMs at CentOS 7). A summary of the difference in build time for building all components: *Build Platform* *Time taken* Docker Desktop on macOS 11:47.27 Docker on Linux 05:33.30 Building natively on macOS 03:47.84 Building natively on Linux 02:26.9 A more detailed comparison of build times can be found in the PR <https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/pull/4758#user-content-build-times>. My hope is that this decreases the setup/update time for CDN-in-a-Box so users have a practical alternative to running Apache Traffic Control "bare-metal" on their own machine. If this issue affects you, I encourage you to test out building the RPMs on the pull request branch and report your results. Setup instructions can be found in the docs: https://github.com/zrhoffman/trafficcontrol/blob/native_rpms/docs/source/development/building.rst#build-the-rpms-natively NB: The PR does not replace Docker as the official, supported build environment, and users should still build the RPMs using Docker when producing RPMs for use in non-dev environments. Thanks, Zach
