Tested on a separate branch buildtest on Steam, in particular the MacOS depot. This works without having to use the ContentPrep application as per the old instructions.
To test the experimental build use the code createstreambuilds in the Betas section of the Blender application launcher. You can now select the buildtest branch, Blender will be automatically updated to use it.

The patch currently excludes *.pdb files which means no stack trace can be provided in crash logs.

| 30 | We should remove this exclusion so we can do better bug handling/reporting. | |

Approving the current state as this is how we build the steam builds for half a year. Any changes (debugging info) could be done as a patch.
