Mo Schmidt developed a robust cross-platform build and packaging infrastructure for the SoarGroup/Soar repository, focusing on reproducibility, onboarding, and streamlined developer workflows. Over five months, Mo introduced a CMake-based build system integrated with GitHub Actions CI and Conan for dependency management, leveraging Docker to standardize development environments across C++, Python, and Java. He implemented automated testing with CTest, performance test scaffolding, and flexible installation options, while modernizing packaging through CPack and adding Debian package support. Mo’s work improved build reliability, artifact versioning, and distribution readiness, demonstrating depth in build engineering, CI/CD, and cross-platform system configuration using Bash and C++.

Month: 2025-05 — Focused on packaging enhancements and artifact versioning for Soar. Delivered Debian packaging support via CPack, updated CI to publish Debian packages alongside existing tarballs, and made the DEB generator conditional in CMake for Unix-like systems. Fixed library naming to libsoar-<version>.so to improve versioning clarity and artifact management. These changes enable easier distribution on Debian-based systems and improve downstream integration and maintainability.
