Release manager needed

[lexoyo]

Hello

We need a person in charge of testing and releasing Silex.

This means checking that it works as expected - same or better than before and then validating the release.

Tasks:
1- Test the version on preprod.silex.me
2- Download and test the desktop version
3- Merge the pull request by clicking "merge"
4- Switch the current version in Github releases
5- Publish on npm with the command line - we can help you learn that

I can do the building if you give me instructions, not sure about testing given my time constraints though.

I Have Visual Studio Running and all the time in the world, I require a little guidance , like write the command line I need to use . I have sandbox and VM also. VS might have an extension to exe it really quick

Hello

1- You would need to install silex locally on a windows computer

2- Then run the command node_modules/.bin/electron-builder -p never on each install, this will produce the files needed for windows and mac

3- test the exe and see if silex works correctly

4- upload the exe on github (I will give you the access rights)

Let me know if you can go through these steps?

I'm don't have a Mac .

Hello, I would like to contribute as a release tester/manager (or whatever title suits your team culture.) I can test the builds on Windows (10/11) macOS (up to High Sierra for now), Linux Debian-based distros, and Arch-based distros. I am currently using Silex on Windows and Mac

Yes, I normally do. I'm using it for designing static sites templates that I will later implement with Hugo, Gatsby or MkDocs.

Also I want to thank you for such a great product.

Hey @paloooo
I just created a new version, would you help me release it?
Maybe we can have a chat about how to do it on https://gitter.im/silex-website-builder/community
Or just let me know how you can test the latest desktop version. Do you see it here as a draft (v2.7.32) or do you need more rights ?

[paloooo]

Thanks and hello. Let me check the version, and I will let you know If I need more rights (At the moment, I do not think that would be necessary)

Hello And sorry for the delay. No, I can not see the preview version I do download the source and build it but do not have the DMG, and Snap packages available.

[lexoyo]

Ok, I added you to the team, you should see it now

We have a feature request to upgrade Silex Desktop to v3 with improved features! If you'd like to see this happen, please support the request by voting here on our roadmap and by giving ideas too

Your support helps prioritize this upgrade, so every vote counts.

When it reaches enough votes we will need contributors to help build the future of Silex Desktop.
