Right, the effort of those people is obviously the limiting factor here. Automating builds sounds like a good step forward. What are the sticky bits here? Martin, Ronald, how much of the process is not automated, and why is automating hard?
I don't feel like producing a complete list of build steps; the entire process takes about four hours. The steps that are difficult to automate are:
- code signing
- testing the resulting installer
- uploading
However, in a significant number of releases, some of the build steps failed, so it requires some investigation to find the source of the problem.
Regards, Martin
