Hi,
I can still build the installer, but I have never built binaries. The
installer code in the repository is NOT the latest code. I had lost
commit access for a time during the transition and by the time I got
that access back there are no more binaries, so it has been pointless
to continue development. If someone could produce binaries I could
get the installer back on track, otherwise it’s not worth spending any
time on if the project will not support (as in supply) windows binaries.
I was advised to discuss this on the dev list, which is what I did,
however there has been zero response. There is more discussion on the
user end than the developer end. If anyone in user-land has the
capability to construct the binaries in a similar fashion to the way
they were produced before, I for one would bring this to the attention
of the developer list if nobody else does. It is my opinion that the
project should have a ‘supported’ release to assist with bug finding
and to provide end-users with a standard base-level release.
So the situation is as follows:
The previous builder (DJ Heap?) does not have the time to build the
Win32 binaries anymore.
I, for one, could dedicate a few hours to create the latest ones and the
next ones as well. It does not seem too much complicated to build them.
What I'm lacking is a description of what to run and in what order.
I mean, there are Python scripts related to win32 in the build folder,
but I am not sure what they are doing. Having a simple "step by step"
guide would actually save time.
Is there a way to ask the previous builder to at least document this?

Olivier
