Description
This task is intended to track required task for the DBus 1.12 release on Windows.
Currently the following tasks comes into my mind or has been raised by others:
- Specify minimal supported os version and compiler
- complete open bugs (for example bug 99751)
- Update website
- Make binary packages for Windows (packages are currently in preparation at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:rhabacker:branches:windows:mingw:win32:unstable)
- Find a download location for binary packages e.g. https://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/win or something else if not possible [1]
- ....
[1] obs would also be possible in theory by using the following search https://software.opensuse.org/package/mingw32-dbus-1-portable?search_term=mingw32-dbus-1-portable for portable packages or https://software.opensuse.org/package/mingw32-dbus-1-portable?search_term=mingw32-dbus-1-installer for exe installer or specifing a direct link to a package but is currently limited to having 7z files or exe installer inside a rpm container. A fix requires to add a new "raw" repository format to obs which would make it possible to place the native packages into a sub dir of https://download.opensuse.org. If this is not possible or will be too much work, or may be rejected by the obs maintainer a release script is required to unpack the native packages and prepare the release as it has been done for KMyMoney (see https://cgit.kde.org/kmymoney.git/tree/maintainer/release-windows-packages)
