Ouch, I totally forgot to add the mailing list to the address list! Doing that now. Apologies.
--o-- Hi All, we've last built the UEFI shell binary for edk2-stable202002 (i.e., almost 1 year ago): https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable202002 Note "ShellBinPkg.zip" under Assets -- there is no stable tag that is (a) more recent and (b) whose Assets contain "ShellBinPkg.zip".

Reasons: (1) There are two small shell features minimally in the latest development cycle: https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Planning * add file buffering to the UEFI shell's COMP command https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3123 * Shell: pathname / filename sorting https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3151 (2) The zip file listed above does not contain a RISC-V binary, and RISC-V has been an official UEFI and edk2 platform minimally since edk2-stable202005 / <https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2672>. In particular, the following two platforms in edk2-platforms include the shell (SUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURES = RISCV64): Platform/SiFive/U5SeriesPkg/FreedomU500VC707Board/U500.dsc Platform/SiFive/U5SeriesPkg/FreedomU540HiFiveUnleashedBoard/U540.dsc However, as of this writing (@ 6e5586863148), we only have the following list in "Maintainers.txt": > UEFI Shell Binaries (ShellBinPkg.zip) from EDK II Releases: > ----------------------------------------------------------- > W: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/ > M: Ray Ni <ray...@intel.com> (Ia32/X64) > M: Zhichao Gao <zhichao....@intel.com> (Ia32/X64) > M: Leif Lindholm <l...@nuviainc.com> (ARM/AArch64) > M: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+tianoc...@kernel.org> (ARM/AArch64) I think that (a) Abner should be added to this list, and (b) we should include a RISC-V shell binary in the upcoming assets. Abner, can you send a patch for "Maintainers.txt" please? Questions: - I'm not clear on how we intend to build the shell binaries -- will we retrieve them from CI / Azure somehow, or is it a manual process? - Given that this is a release activity, I'm unsure where I could file a reminder about it -- clearly, the binaries should be built right after the tag has been made. Should I perhaps file a new reminder BZ for the "N/A" Package, and maybe assign it to Liming (our release manager)?
