Re: [papyrus-rt-dev] Papyrus-RT Installer ready to use
|
Ah, okay, that's good.
The Papyrus-RT index (so far) includes also the user setups so that users can use Oomph to add whatever other tools into their installs that they like, using their own local setup models. We may decide not to enable that, although I think it's fairly important for usability.
Basically all that this custom installer does is to acces our Papyrus-RT index by default instead of the Eclipse.org index. Everything else is in the index, which is hosted on our website, not in the installer.

Ah, I see. I had in fact three menus:
Papyrus-RT (twice) and Papyrus-RT development testing (i.e.
tester).
Looking at the Product catalogs, I had both <User
Products> and Papyrus-RT selected. After unselecting <User
Products> I get only Papyrus-RT.
Thanks for getting on this so quickly,
Ernesto!
This error looks like a problem in the
setup. And in the first launch of this installer, I would
expect you to see only one Papyrus-RT product, which is still
0.7. I suspect somehow it is picking up the wrong index for
you.
There's a new feature now available in the
hamburger menu that lets you switch to another index. Can you look
in there to see which index you have and, which product catalogues
you have selected in that index, and if it's not the Papyus-RT
index then what happens if you switch to that?

Looks very
nice! I gave it a spin (on mac) but I ran into trouble:
1) There are two
identical "Papyrus-RT" entries in the main menu, I don't know if
they are duplicates or they are supposed to be
different.
2) I tried both and
ran into the same error: Failed to install:

Hi, Team,
In our release readiness
call earlier this week, I opined that I did not feel the
Oomph-based Papyrus-RT Installer was ready for prime time.
However, since then, several further developments have
occurred:
- Ed Merks fixed our
most significant issues with customization of window title, icon,
and menu action branding for Papyrus-RT in the Eclipse Installer
(in the Oomph project)
- I implemented signing
of the Mac installer RCP to satisfy the MacOS
Gatekeeper
- I implemented
creation of the self-extracting executable installer for Windows
platform, also signed with the Eclipse Foundation
certificate
I also determined that the problems I was
seeing with the Mac installer showing no information in the About
dialog and wanting an unnecessary software self-update were caused
by the new App Translocation feature in the MacOS Sierra version of
the Gatekeeper. This affects all self-updating software
(including native apps using frameworks like Sparkle) and, of
course, all EPPs and other RCPs provided by Eclipse. And it
is easily evaded after download anyways. Therefore, this in
no way hinders any publication of this installer.
So, I think now the
installer is ready for general use, but of course it won’t have the
0.8 Papyrus-RT release yet in its catalogue because that doesn’t
exist. It does, however, have the 0.7.x releases and seems to
be able to install them.
To take the
installer for a spin, download the variant appropriate to your
platform from
A word of caution:
try to avert your eyes from the installer app icon. I
hacked it together, myself, and it is hideous. I am no
artist.
Note also that the
Windows installer binary currently shows the Eclipse Installer
icon, not the Papyrus-RT installer, in the Windows Explorer.
This is because so far we are re-using the extractor binary from
the Eclipse Installer and it isn’t worth trying to figure out how
to replace it until we have a good icon.
If we are interested
in promoting this installer as a distribution method for the 0.8
release, then I should note that it is currently built on
pre-release nightlies of the Oomph installer framework because the
latest release does not provide the customizability that we need
(neither in branding nor managing custom indices). So we
should understand that this isn’t a “release build” of the
installer and I don’t know when the next Eclipse Installer release
will be on which we can base a “release” of our
installer.
