Re: [Kicad-developers] Windows Nightlies Installer - Unable to check components for instal

That's a pretty good idea. Let's plan on doing the same for the macOS release installer, and only do the split installer for nightlies. Adam On Tue, Feb 27, 2018 at 7:49 AM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > Nick, > > You are probably correct about noob users. Our release

Nick, You are probably correct about noob users. Our release installers should include everything. The nightly installers can be built without the libraries to cut down on build time and download bandwidth. Wayne On 2/26/2018 7:09 PM, Nick Østergaard wrote: > I have only been waiting for the

I have only been waiting for the release to be tagged such that I know what strategy would be used for the libs. My plan is to make a full installer and a lite installer for the nightlies. I am not sure if it makes sense to have a seperate installer (without the main programs) such that the noob

We should remove or hide the optional items if they are no longer part of the installer to prevent confusion. On 2/26/2018 12:46 PM, Jon Evans wrote: > In the case that there is a separate installer for the libraries (which > I also think makes sense), maybe those line items should be removed

Yet another use case that I hadn't thought about. Keep them coming. Sometimes your focus gets so narrowed by how you do things that you can't conceive of all possible ways other user work. I know for a fact that asking users to use git to maintain libraries is like asking them to build from

OK, what about the help files? :) I agree, the library installer should be provided, you can call me a thorough tester but a basic user (otherwise known as complainer ;-P ) and I don't want to deal with github to get kicad libraries. A 50 year old hobbyist will give up on kicad in 10 minutes

This is especially useful for our Chinese users and folks traveling to China for manufacturing support, as often Github and other common public git repositories are blocked. Adam On Mon, Feb 26, 2018 at 11:42 AM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > On 2/26/2018 6:39 AM, Simon Richter

In the case that there is a separate installer for the libraries (which I also think makes sense), maybe those line items should be removed from the main installer instead of just disabled (if that is easy) to reduce confusion? On Mon, Feb 26, 2018 at 12:42 PM, Wayne Stambaugh
