The standard installer will be small, contain only essential GPL-compatible files and automatically download components like ImageMagick, Ghostscript and MiKTeX if the users wants to.
So at least python.exe, sh.exe etc will be in, right? Installing full python and msys is unacceptable even if they are downloaded automatically. Another question is about ImageMagick. this should not be optional since it is essential to the functioning of lyx.
If there is a need for a non-GPL installer with bundled software, that one should be compiled from the same scripts and not be an external project with different scripts.
That would be really nice.
I'm now going to try the new configuration patches of Jean-Marc. If they work fine, the results of my project will be posted very soon.
Thank you very much. Bo
