The scripts did not manage to produce a DMG (expected) or EXE (unexpected).
While I am used to having to produce a DMG by hand, here are the steps I used to created an EXE. 1. Windows VM - we use an AccessControl plugin to modify shortcut permission (and it only runs on windows) 2. Download and install https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/?source=typ_redirect 3. Unzip http://nsis.sourceforge.net/AccessControl_plug-in and copy the dll into the NSIS plugin folder 4. Create a folder "build" and unzip geoserver-2.8-M0-win.zip 5. Open up geoserver-2.8-M0-bin.zip and copy the contents out into the build folder (so the LICENSE.txt is next to the GeoServerEXE.nsi file) 6. Double click on GeoServerEXE.nsi file and watch it compile I have tried running the installer, and if happily fails to install since this VM does not have Java. If I can ask for a volunteer to test before I proceed with announcement. The artifacts (including the exe) are now on source forge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer/2.8-M0/ -- Jody Garnett On 26 May 2015 at 15:36, Jody Garnett <[email protected]> wrote: > milestone release artifacts are available for testing: > > - http://ares.boundlessgeo.com/geoserver/release/2.8-M0/ > > -- > Jody Garnett > > On 21 May 2015 at 13:43, Jody Garnett <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I am grinding through pull requests trying to sort out what is expected >> in a milestone release. >> >> If you have any functionality that you want to make the cut please speak >> up now! >> >> (I am a bit stuck reviewing on Niels REST API work as it looks like >> discussion is ongoing) >> -- >> Jody Garnett >> > >
