Drop or keep macOS support - sphinxc0re - 07-04-2016
Since it is really hard to get macOS supported and since it mostly isn't used for production servers, I would suggest dropping support

It could still be used for home servers and by plugin developers creating their plugins. If its maintenance doesn't cost too much effort, I'd keep it.

Plugin devs could still compile the server themselves. We have an easy to use compile script for that. I'm just saying we should stop distributing binaries for it

Oh, so you mean binaries. I thought support altogether ( = don't care if it doesn't compile / work). I'm okay with removing the binaries.

I also think we should add a section to the PR template, where you have to define the os your are using

Why remove binaries if they do no harm?

Note that if we do remove the builds, we may make changes that break Mac compilation, and it would take more time to catch them.

I could do the testing on a regular basis. If I get to host my spare machine somewhere, we might be able to get macOS builds back
