I missed this fact. So what should be the name to announce it?
Something like 'an alternative windows installer with blah blah', with filenames lyx-1.5.0beta3-AltInstaller....
Do you really want to have it on the LyX-server? If yes, there are two issues:
As long as your installers are not official, you can have these issues. However, after the two installers eventually merged, you would better seek consensus among developers, at least installer developers before doing these.
- I ship the powerdot.layout and maintain it also because I often got requests for this, the last time this week. I still think we should ship it with LyX, if you don't agree, I have to put it out of my installer before it can be on the lyx-server.
I think so so please add a bug report and ask Jose to add it.
- I removed the update view PDF button again for the following reason:
As far as I remember, most developers are against this.
I can reintroduce it but then have to use Joost's solution with the permanently running program in the background, otherwise the update view button does nothing when it is pressed.
This can be discussed later.
I'm unsure what to do because people complained about the permanently running program and also to my previous solution where the button was there but inactive. Ideas?
Sorry, No idea yet. :-)
Btw. Bo, my installer can now also be build via scons by executing the file "build-all.nsh".
What do you mean by that? 'via scons' means building the installers from scons, not makensis. With two supporting packages in place, I can build official installers by scons installer bundle=1 Cheers, Bo
