Hi list,
Martin Peach has released a new version of midifile. But since in the present situation he's not able to get to his computers, the binaries for the mac and linux versions can't be built and uploaded to deken.
there's so many continuous-integration services (CI) that hook into git and which make automatic building of externals much easier.
e.g. for most of my externals i have a setup that whenever i push a new change to my respository, it will be recompiled from scratch on linux/amd64, linux/i386, linux/armhf (raspberry pi), linux/arm64, windows/amd64, windows/i386 and darwin/amd64. whenever i push a tag (aka: release), the binaries produced will also be upload automatically to deken.
i only need physical access to a single machine (usually my trusty linux/amd64 developer notebook; but that actually doesn't matter).
just a slight nudging to move from SVN to git :-)

PS: to be honest, none of this comes by magic; and instead required setting up. it's just that in the git-ecosystem there are many more actual options to do set up such an autobuild system than in the svn-world or the cvs-era.
