Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] EclipseCon installers
|
D'oh. What I'm looking for here is avoiding having M x N physical
installer downloads (where M = # of platforms and N = # of packages). I
don't expect us to make things more complicated or do more work, just
working through the best possible structure given what we have now.
Thanks
Jeff

I believe we need a different installer per platform (os/ws/arch),
since they will have different launchers, unless there is some known
way to bundle a standalone RCP application that will run on any
platform. As for EPP packages, the installer works by reading an
install description file that specifies what to install, where to get
the bits from, etc. The description file is passed to the installer
as a system property on the command line, or in the installer.ini
file. Since each EPP package will just be represented by a different
install description file, one could imagine a single installer with a
series of scripts/batch files that pass in a different property for
the description file. On the other hand, the installer is currently
~4MB (of which 2MB is SWT), so for simplicity having a separate
installer per EPP per platform could also work.

[equinox-dev] [prov] EclipseCon installers
I forgot to ask during the call. Can we have one installer per EPP
package? That is, one installer that would work for multiple platforms
or do we have to have one installer for per EPP per platform?
