However, I don't yet know to what extent WinLibre engages in packaging activities: i.e. do they just grab the Windows binary that we provide, or do they get the source so that they can share libraries between the programs ? (If it gives any clues, the News page mentions handling package dependencies, and that it uses InnoSetup 5.0.)
Hi Inkscapers !
I'm Pierre-Jean from the WinLibre project.
Actually the dependencies handling in WinLibre is very rough. But, we are working with 4 students (from the Summer of Code program) to build a new distribution tool written in python. We are about to merge the 4 projects to provide an integrated tool for one of the next WinLibre's releases. The goal is to handle automatic install, uninstall and update for every included package.
Is there anything we can do to work more closely with WinLibre ?
We would be very happy to work more closely with you guys. It could help to move the projects in a more user friendly direction.
Regards,
Pierre-Jean Coudert, WinLibre.
