<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear PSC,</div><div><br></div><div>I have worked on macOS builds for QGIS 3.44.</div><div><br></div><div>These builds include:</div><div><br></div><div> - Recent dependencies (see below)</div><div> - Native Intel and arm support (universal binaries)</div><div> - Packaged as a dmg installer</div><div> - Notarized with OSGeo certificates</div><div><br></div><div>The source code had to be heavily patched with backports from code that was merged to master only after QGIS 3.44 had been branched.</div><div>The <a href="https://github.com/m-kuhn/QGIS/tree/refs/heads/qt5-qgis-3-44" target="_blank">build pipeline</a> for QGIS 3.44 is therefore something I do not intend to merge into the release-3_44 branch and therefore have it on my own fork and the build can be downloaded from there too:</div><div><br></div><div>QGIS 3.44.4 download: <a href="https://github.com/m-kuhn/QGIS/releases/download/final-3_44_4/QGIS-final-3_44_4.dmg" target="_blank">https://github.com/m-kuhn/QGIS/releases/download/final-3_44_4/QGIS-final-3_44_4.dmg</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Notarization is now done using an OSGeo certificate (big thanks to Michael Smith for the support).</div><div><br></div><div>- The notarization for Qt6 nightly builds (and future QGIS 4 releases) is done in github actions in this repository <a href="https://github.com/qgis/qgis-notarize">https://github.com/qgis/qgis-notarize</a></div><div>- The notarization for Qt5 based QGIS 3.44 releases is done in this repository <a href="https://github.com/m-kuhn/qgis-notarize">https://github.com/m-kuhn/qgis-notarize</a></div><div><br></div><div>There are still a few limitations which have come up in our internal testing, most notably UI translation isn't working yet.</div><div>Furthermore, there has been a request to bundle more python for data science ().</div><div>I am still working on addressing these shortcomings, I expect more requests to come up which I'll address as time permits.</div><div><br></div><div>Since there are no officially maintained macOS releases available at the moment, I would like to publish these on the official QGIS download page.</div><div>To publish the packages to the download page, I'd be happy to get some support (uploading to a server / changing download links). Who would be the right person to talk to?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot for trusting me with this task.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards</div><div>Matthias</div><div><br></div><div><table border="0" style="margin:0px" align="center" width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
