Dear list, After some private discussions, Uwe has agreed to work with me, and potentially Christian and Joost to merge the two installers. We plan to proceed like this:
1. Uwe upload his installer to the trunk (he has already done so) 2. I (and Christian?) will study both installers, figuring out differences in features and implementations. Newbie questions will be sent to Joost and Uwe. This will last for two weeks or longer. 3. After we all get familiar with both code bases, a series of decisions regarding how to merge the two installers will be made, of course after public discussions. We may use one or two scripts to maintain the minimal and bundled installer, we may replace obscure-to-newbies code from the official installer with Uwe's if Joost can not show us the advantages of using more advanced techniques. (Joost, we need your help (and you need to defend your code)! ) 4. Two installers will eventually be merged. Without four (at least two?) developers, we expect this to be done before the release of 1.5.0. In summary, an installer team is formed to work on a single official installer, which will be official by JMarc's definition. Cheers, Bo
