[Coapp-developers] [package] GStreamer

2010-05-19 Thread Adam Baxter
I know it's early days yet, but I thought the GStreamer audio/video framework was worthy of attention, both because it's quite popular, and because it's really hard to build on Windows. http://gstreamer.org/features/index.html https://launchpad.net/hsbuild is GStreamer's Windows build system, and

I've started a glossary section on http://coapp.org/Blueprints/Definitions. Feel free to add/delete/move as necessary. Some of the definitions may require links to MSDN or their own separate wiki page. If the glossary gets too big for that page, we can move it off into its own page under Blueprint

Re: [Coapp-developers] [specs] Pre and post install actions?

2010-05-19 Thread Garrett Serack
No. If there are custom actions that need supporting they are going to have to be added to what CoApp supports. Custom Actions are one of the worst parts and most abused features in MSI. From: coapp-developers-bounces+garretts=microsoft@lists.launchpad.net [mailto:coapp-developers-bounce

[Coapp-developers] [specs] Pre and post install actions?

2010-05-19 Thread Adam Baxter
Hi, Do you think each package type should have pre and post install actions? For example, * an executable package might register itself to the Games Explorer on Vista/7 after installation * a source package might need a very specific folder structure * an executable might require non-CoApp resourc

Wow. Long thread, little traction. As I mentioned at the beginning regarding forked code: Shallow-forks of other projects should maintain the licenses of their upstream originators. And regarding the choice of AL 2.0 over BSD: I *have* spoken to lawyers regarding this, and the sign

The project group on Launchpad does not provide a 'namespace' for projects. So there is already a zlib package at http://launchpad.net/zlib Since we need our own development branch for this, we need to have our own project for it. And we can't just call it zlib (there is already one!). So we ne
