It's possible (and I've seend it done) to offer a base version via a normal installer, and then expect the users to upgrade via Sparkle. For the reasons I mentioned, this is sub-optimal (to the point of rendering the package un-upgradeable) for a number of the machines I maintain. Sparkle is a nice convenience for those who can take the chance of admin accounts for regular use, and for those on high bandwidth links. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
