Re: Windows Installer documentation review

 

You feedback would be more helpful if you'd suggest how to improve things, or even edit those pages -- they're all wiki.

Core bzr team 'mindset'
Perhaps the wiki material and ml discussions betray the fact that there
is no agreed position on Windows support? The following (exaggerated)
attitudes all seem to exist:

1) 'Batteries included' one-click install for Windows is a must-have.

2) that standalone.exe installer is a clever demonstration but it
papers over some cracks, and it will lay there like a heffalump trap,
waiting to catch us out. Better not encourage it.

3) bzr is written in python so people had better be running and know
some python to use it. anything else is a diversion.


[The recent discussions on bzr-windows suggest acceptance of option 1)
as being closest to reality, but is that an 'offical' position or just
something
that a bunch of enthusiasts are pushing?]


I don't understand your point.

People, wake up! Windows users *are* second class citizens in most open-source projects developed by the team of Linux hackers. If you want to change something you have to be ready to dive in and do something about it. Not just describe how bad everything in particular project.
