So what is the actual need there, if any? Not just Mac, but CI builds in general. I think I have enough experience with speeding up builds, so I could presumably help if I knew what exactly is needed. For example, there should be another way to speed Mac builds by cross-compiling, namely using icecream to handle that. Icecream has a very simple-to-use support for cross-compiling, it'd require only setting up Linux build node(s) and Mac would still run the build itself, so there'd be no need to alter the build system besides setting CC/CXX. And I happen to be more or less the current icecream maintainer. -- Luboš Luňák l.lu...@collabora.com _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
