Hi, I have some questions about installer packages for Gears and version checking/updating. We've developed an application that uses Gears to offer some parts for offline usage.
The way to install Gears is to go to the website and clicking the download button. This way of installing is not eagerly adopted by the IT department. They want an installer package that can be installed on one laptop and from there be pushed to the other laptops that need to be installed. Searching the group, I found a download link to an msi package: http://dl.google.com/gears/0.3.24.0/gears-win32-opt.msi, which also seems to work for the current version: http://dl.google.com/gears/0.5.33.0/gears-win32-opt.msi. I find this a bit obscure, as I couldn't find a page where these links are listed and/or documented. Is this something that will stick for future versions? Furthermore, Gears automatically checks for new versions on install and on usage. Is it possible to turn this off? Do I need to build Gears myself to turn this off? Where can I find the line(s) of code? Gears version management is a bit unclear to me right now. The subversion repository hosts a trunk version, but there are no tags for versions released? Regards, Rens
