Creation of runtime packages #794

Open frottke opened 8 months ago

frottke commented 8 months ago

As @nixpt82 asked in #486, is there a way to generate runtime packages as an app file? We have a product that we want to distribute onprem, but we have to generate the runtime packages manually, which is quite tedious as you can imagine.

If there is no solution within Al-Go, do you have a PoC for overriding the default behavior? It seems that there is "GetBcContainerAppRuntimePackage.ps1", but it doesn't seem to be executed in the GitHub action "CI/CD"?

Currently there is not - but... - we are working on this from multiple angles. Cannot give you any dates yet - but allow me to get back after I get back from Directions EMEA

@frottke I used this as inspiration for a powershell script that create runtime packages: https://al-go.dev/releasing-on-premises-extensions/ Works fine but takes a lot of time to run. It would be great to have it built in in AL-Go. I'm currently developing on BC20.0 and there's a lot of majors/minors to create runtime packages for since BC20.0....

I am working on this now - just signed up for doing a Directions Webinar in January and expect to have something to show there.

Are there any news regarding this issue?
