Dear René

Indeed busy elsewhere (sorting, remounting, cleaning, scanning some 2000+ 
diapositives…) but for what it is worth:

- We already build the PDF documentation on Jenkins - the only thing to sort 
out is where to upload it and when and how. It should be possible to use the 
same strategy as for the „artifacts“ -> Erich?

- I will try to set up the build of the HTML documentation on Jenkins shortly, 
should not be to hard, I can build locally, just got bogged down in other 
things.

- test cases for samples -> I have them ready for inclusion but I need to do 
some small changes still to the test framework to detect where the samples are, 
just want to test it locally first.

- Apple Installer -> I have made a dmg Installer 
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y5ohmsa0g8dlhri/AAB367syezTf2sH2lmkiAiG4a?dl=0> 
that is sudo free and includes license, documentation and in almost all aspects 
behave as a „normal“ Apple installer. I can change the Jenkins build to include 
the steps necessary to build this installer.

The diffs to a „proper“ Apple installer are:

(i) the user needs to amend the path manually to make it work
(ii) the user needs to create ~/Applications manually before installing

My proposal is to change the default installation to go into /Applications 
instead, this will make the installer even more „Apple-like“. This can be done 
without elevated rights and is how „normal“ apps install themselves.

Uninstall is by drop&drag to the garbage bin.

Can we have a poll from the Apple users what they think? ~/Applications or 
/Applications?

Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
P.O. Jonsson
