So you do not build your installer from the official release tarball?
Actually, I'd very much prefer that.
Why do you think so? This was only a bugfix for my update installer
independent of the release tarball.
I think every binary should be _absolutely_ identical with the relase tarball,
which _is_ LyX 1.5.7. That's why I even considered retagging 1.5.7 after the
changes to the NEWS file.
For instance this fix:
URL: http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/27409
Log:
SConstruct, scons_manifest.py: fix for Galician
does not only concern your installer. And even if, the installer files are part
of the tarball, and thus should not be changed after a freeze. What you
distribute isn't actually LyX 1.5.7.
My proposal is: every binary that is named LyX 1.5.7 _must_ be build from the
source, which is the tarball and not SVN. No change *whatsoever* after a
freeze (if a change turns out to be crucial, we must either retag and rebuild
the release, or publish a new release).
And I'd actually like to have a definite decision in this point.
In the past, there were more than once multiple binary-releases for a
single source release (both win and Mac), also supported by you,
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/110042>, and I think
that made sense (as long as only build- and installer-specific things
are fixed).
Of course, the fact that the Win-Installer is part of the source
release, makes it a bit more tricky ... I could almost see an argument
for separating the two.
