Subject: RFC: Proposal to halt automatic builds of Windows BaseTools executables
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 17:56:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7FE3244EBB31F1449E4EC79CFE44E3F4ACA8ED8F@ORSMSX114.amr.corp.intel.com> (raw)

I would like to propose that the automatic builds of Windows BaseTools executables be halted.  This implies there will no longer be updates to the edk2-BaseTools-win32 repository.

With this change, developers using Windows must install Python 2.7.x and configure their environment to build C tools  and run python scripts from sources.  This matches the development experience for non-Windows environments.

Please respond with comments by 03/23/2018.

Thanks,
-Erik
