Zhang Xu, The difference is that Crosswalk will not provide any kind of application installation on desktop. The packaged applications will be unpacked on fly (to a temp dir) right before their running.

I am confused because user can install crosswalk application using xwalk(not xwalkctl) two month ago. What's the difference between your new intent with original?
