Re: [chirp_devel] Windows Server availability
Windows XP presents a problem. I don’t think Chocolatey or even Ketarin supports it. However, according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39386471/can-i-build-chocolatey-packages... it is possible to compile using Mono on Linux. I don’t know how much you are willing to alter your Linux installations, but all the script would really need to do is edit values contained in two text files, commit those changes in Git, run the chocolatey package command, and push the package.

Excellent. I will try to get a working script and test it across a few versions. I think in your case, simply using the PowerShell script is the better choice, considering Ketarin is meant to be run continuously as a monitor.
Note that the builds are made on WinXP for maximum backwards compatibility. I've never used powershell, but be aware that the build environment is old for a reason.
Also, the whole build process is scripted over ssh with cygwin bash in the windows image. So whatever I run has to be callable from that environment.

Potentially useful tangent idea: I like using VMs for Windows related stuff like this. You could even boot and bring down the VM from the Host machine using a script.
If you're using VirtualBox, which works great, you can use VBoxManage to startup a Windows machine; headless or regular.
