I'd meant to reply the other day after my first successful packaging attempt but could not find this thread.

Can confirm ;) I'm one of a couple of people who has been trying to help fill the gap since Phillip stopped having time to work regularly on this -- we would love more help to create the release packages for Windows, to document the scripts that produce them, and generally to improve and increase brain trust around this tooling.

I see that last = year a Windows pre-test for 28.0.50 was uploaded to https://alpha.gnu.org/g= nu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-28/ in January 2021. Might an ETA for the Wi= ndows build of 28.0.91 be in the works? Thanks very much; this help too is most welcome and very much needed. I expect we will have packages available from the alpha FTP site in the near future. In the meanwhile you are welcome to try these out; these were created just a few minutes ago from the emacs-28 branch. Select "tree" from here in a web-broswer: https://git.sr.ht/~mplscorwin/emacs-w64 Or, grab everything via: git clone https://git.sr.ht/~mplscorwin/emacs-w64 Note, these won't use native-comp (even if you have msys and libgccjit). Producing windows builds that use those when present is the next thing we are working on. >> All my thanks to those who create the Windows builds and make Windows us= ers feel like first-class citizens of Emacs. We'd much prefer to use Emacs = on a free operating system if only our corporate overlords would allow it. +1 My thanks to those intrepid souls also. (I've only been building my own Emacs under windows for a few months.) Phillip Lord, especially, deserves some type of "hall of fame" level of recognition for reducing the daily pain for us "corporate drones" :D And thank /you/ for your enthusiasm to work on this. Corwin
