Possible to automate builds, and use "Releases" in GitHub to distribute compiled version?

[austinwitherspoon]

Speaking as somebody who is a python developer primarily, and who has struggled trying to bring other tools like this into our pipeline, the compilation requirements/steps for c++ apps are pretty painful, and I imagine I'm not the only person to spend days trying to get everything set up on my machine to compile tools like these.

Forgive me if this is too difficult of an ask, I speak from complete ignorance of how most of this works, but it seems like it would be incredibly useful to leverage github actions to generate compiled binaries for Windows, MacOS, and Linux to more easily distribute.

Is this something at all possible?

Hi @austinwitherspoon, if everything goes as planned, we will eventually have a multi-platform CI. Then, we will be able to define if we can/should publish pre-compiled builds.

@geffrak, may I ask about this? For some reason Autodesk states that binaries and downloads are not a feature of OpenRV.
That said,

• will you accept pull requests for github CI?
• When can we expect release tags?

Thanks!

@helge000, it's something that need to be defined at the ASWF level. OpenRV is owned by AWSF's open review initiative.

It might be confusing because it seems to be the same team between both OpenRV and Autodesk ShotGrid RV, but it's two different entity with two different requirements and commercial authorization/agreement.

It's in the ASWF roadmap to move forward about pre-compiled something to ease up the adoption.

@geffrak , thanks for the clarification! Oh well, I guess that means you are not currently accepting PR's for Github CI.

[geffrak]

You are correct. It would stay open for a moment. Until we have the go from ASWF.
