The builds are done with Craft pretty much the same way as they were done on 
Binary Factory.

The following .craft.ini file added to the root of kstars in the master branch 
should take care of indiserver:
```
# SPDX-FileCopyrightText: None
# SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0

[BlueprintSettings]
libs/indiserver.version=master
libs/indiserver-3rdparty.version=master
libs/indiserver-3rdparty-libraries.version=master
```

For your release branch, use the following .craft.ini to trigger a rebuild of 
indiserver and to enable building of an APPX package for Windows:
```
# SPDX-FileCopyrightText: None
# SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0

[BlueprintSettings]
libs/indiserver.patchLevel=1
libs/indiserver-3rdparty.patchLevel=1
libs/indiserver-3rdparty-libraries.patchLevel=1

kde/applications/kstars.packageAppx = True
```

If you have further questions then come to the Matrix room #kde-craft:kde.org.

Regards,
Ingo
