[Gimp-print-devel] macOS maintainer "position"...

[Michael S. <ms...@ms...>]

[I'll preface this with: I have no idea how much time I'll be able to devote to this...]

All,

I saw Matt's recent message concerning the lack of a macOS maintainer.  As someone who has had to deal with Apple's notarization process, it is 100% possible to automate both the code signing and notarization but *does* require the $99/year developer account to have the Developer ID installer and application code signing certs.  This is a bargain for code signing BTW - on Windows you have to buy code signing certs from a CA which cost from a little to a lot more, not to mention the hassle of dealing with the CAs who in many cases won't give an individual a code signing cert...

Anyways, I *do* have a developer account I can use for this, and I can setup a build bot to package Gutenprint for (at least) macOS 10.13 and later.  Also, I *think* I've correctly signed and notarized the current 5.3.3 package (worked without security warnings at least), and put it into a ZIP file here:

Perhaps that is enough for now?
