There is probably not many users for those, but I am a bit uncomfortable with killing them if we have porters willing to build those manually. I am a bit less worried for ports on more modern platforms as cross-compilation on Linux seems to be usually well supported. Packaging might be an issue though (I don't know of any way to create a dmg image on Linux for example, which might force us to use zip instead for macOS packages).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thierry</div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 18 Dec 2017, at 22:21, Eugene Sandulenko <<a href="mailto:sev@scummvm.org" class="">sev@scummvm.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On 17 December 2017 at 15:36, Willem Jan Palenstijn<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:wjp@usecode.org" target="_blank" class="">wjp@usecode.org</a>></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><span class="">On Sat, Dec 16, 2017 at 09:08:15PM -0600, Colin Snover wrote:<br class="">> Team,<br class="">><br class="">> One of my goals for the next release of ScummVM is to automate the<br class="">> process of building and generating release packages.
