Great news - thanks to everyone from the LDC team for your hard
work! When I read the announcement I noticed [1] that building a
release seems like a lot of manual work. I have seen that it is
already partially automated, but how long does it take you to
prepare a new release (in the case nothing goes wrong)? Ideally
building the packages for all platforms would be fully automated,
so that you can also provide nightlies for the common users.
Travis, Circle etc. provide a environment variable and sometimes
special settings to distinguish a pull request from a active
commit, so I assume that won't be a huge issue for you. Do you
know about a good place to dump such nightlies? As you will
usually overwrite the latest version space is probably not an
issue, but traffic costs might (e. g. with S3). I am happy to
offer one of my VPS servers with unlimited traffic for rsyncing
and dumping the files to the public, but it comes with zero
guarantees ;-)
