Hello @dev, Since release 4.12.0.0 I have been helping with the process of making packages available at https://download.cloudstack.org. Such a process takes time and demands someone to build the packages "manually".
The idea is to enhance it to a point that the RM in a future release can press a button and the packages will be "automagically" generated and made available at the mirrors. With that in mind, I would like to propose the addition of a Jenkins server to help with the packaging process. PCextreme would be happy to donate and configure a Jenkins master and a few slaves for doing that. Anyone interested in donating Jenkins slaves would be welcome as well. The plan is to let Jenkins (e.g. https://jenkins.cloudstack.org ?) open for any committer/PMC primarily as a tool for building packages during the release process. Such Jenkins could serve for multiple automation purposes but at first, the goal is to have a "release-packages" job for generating "VOTE" and release packages. Additionally, a set of people (e.g. active PMCs and release managers) would have root access to the VM to manage inside scripts, install dependency packages, and run updates when necessary. Please let me know if that proposal suits the project needs. In case we have no objections I will start working on it. Best Regards, Gabriel.
