During a three-month period, Andres Almiray focused on packaging and release automation for JReleaser across the nushell/winget-pkgs and macports/macports-ports repositories. He delivered Winget packaging for JReleaser 1.18.0, implementing installer, locale, and manifest assets to streamline Windows distribution. In macports/macports-ports, Andres upgraded Portfiles to versions 1.19.0 and 1.20.0, updating metadata, checksums, and version strings to ensure reproducible builds and reliable release automation. His work leveraged Tcl and YAML, emphasizing build system management and package management. The updates improved artifact integrity, reduced release-time failures, and maintained alignment with upstream release cycles for downstream users.

In August 2025, delivered a critical Portfile upgrade for macports/macports-ports to Jreleaser v1.20.0, including generated version string updates and checksum regeneration to reflect the new release. This ensures packaging uses the latest stable tooling, improves build reliability, and reduces risk of release failures for end-users. No regressions introduced; changes aligned with upstream release cadence and downstream packaging expectations, supporting smoother upgrades for downstream users and CI pipelines.
