De : Chris Morgan <chris.morganiser@...400...> I upload mine to http://inkscape.chrismorgan.info/win32-builds/.
Thus we have 4 sites where we can upload inkscape files. It's a bit too much IMHO, and we should decide which one to use. I'm not against uploading to your site, but I think we should try to keep on using modevia if possible, because it already provides all the necessary libs, Aaron and Ishmal gave lots of their time to set it up (I'm almost sure it is partially automated, but now broken due to our move to bzr) and users are used to it. If Aaron and Ishmal decide to give up modevia, then let's move the files somewhere else.
Also I use 7-Zip to compress the non-installer one,
I agree. 7-Zip is far more efficient.
inkscape-0.47+devel-r8899.7z: all files except gdb.exe, inkscape.dbg, inkview.dbg inkscape-0.47+devel-r8899-debug.7z: gdb.exe, inkscape.dbg and inkview.dbg Inkscape-0.47+devel-r8899.exe: compile packaging/win32/inkscape.nsi,
Do we really need all these files? Since it is for debugging purpose, I'd say the debug.7z is ok. But I'm not sure for the others. I find it easy to just unzip the file and run inkscape from a separate folder. OTOH, it's nice to test the installer from time to time.
The mentions of modevia also remind me, ishmal or Aaron, could we please have MSVCR80.dll in devlibs, as msgfmt needs it (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/394096)
Yes, and some other devlibs also need an update.
