------------------------------------------------------------------------ OSX Packaging Issues ------------------------------------------------------------------------
For 0.91, the OSX packaging is under renovation to bring it up to standards that OSX users expect. su_v has taken a deep look into what we've had, and is working on a new package that uses the native Gtk-Quartz functionality.
As this is a pretty massive packaging change, we'll need to track this closely and lend hands as needed to ensure it's a success. Good news is there's still ample time, and strong interest in seeing this succeed.
su_v, do you have a todo list of what remains to be done?
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windows Packaging Issues ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Windows side is also going under major renovations to introduce WIX packaging, which provides an MSI windows package.
However, it sounds like the older NSI package format works well enough, that the consensus as reported by Adib is to stick with this package for 0.91, and allow the WIX package more time. Adib - do I understand the plan correctly? Are there any roadblocks or critical issues remaining?
One concern I have is that we are not providing a 64-bit package, and are directing users off-site to a third party for this. I'd like to understand more about this 64-bit package, and what it would take to provide this package ourselves for 0.91. Would someone mind educating me on this?
